Nativist Former Rep. Tom Tancredo Launches Anti-Immigrant Super PAC | Former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO), who ran a single-issue anti-immigrant campaign for president in 2008, launched a Super PAC, which will “likely target politicians it believes do not strongly oppose illegal immigration.” One potential target of Tancredo’s new venture could be Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) who, despite believing that everything from Medicare to Social Security to bank regulation to basic workplace protections violate the Constitution, has not singled out undocumented immigrants for special cruelty. Tancredo already published an op-ed attacking Perry as insufficiently callous toward immigrants.
