Tancredo to Retire

Finally some good news on the immigration front. Sen. Tom Tancredo has announced that he is not going to seek re-election to his senate post. The senator from Colorado has been one of the most extreme anti-immigration voices in government. His most recent act of "patriotism" was to try to have arrested those undocumented students who were scheduled to speak before the Senate in support of the Dream Act. http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/immigration/entries/2007/10/23/tancredo_asks_feds_to_arrest_i.html. One would hope that it would be the shame of that cowardly act that would have prompted his decision not to seek re-election, but I don't think so. He is also, by the way, running for President, but no one gives that bid any serious thought.
