Ain't it great when a Congressman stands up on his hind legs.....

and calls a spade - a spade! And calls a liberal Senator who abets criminal activity, as in illegally entering the country, a law breaker! From USA Daily:

Tancredo accuses Senator Durban of “aiding and abetting illegal aliens"

Presidential candidate and Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo blasted Senator Dick Durbin for what Tancredo says is “aiding and abetting illegal aliens” at his press conference yesterday on the DREAM Act. Tancredo turned in Senator Durban’s event yesterday to immigration authorities for hosting the event in conjunction with discussion of the DREAM Act where illegal aliens were reported to be attending.

Tancredo said yesterday, “I call on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency to detain any illegal aliens at this press conference. Just because these illegal aliens are being used for political gain doesn’t mean they get immunity from the law.”“If we can’t enforce our laws inside the building where American laws are made, where can we enforce them?”Today Tom Tancredo stepped up the rhetoric “Dick Durbin, by his own admission, brought in students who benefit from the DREAM Act for political gain,” said Tancredo. “Dick can split all the hairs he wants, but we all know the DREAM Act is designed to do one thing: benefit illegal aliens.”

“Of course, I don’t expect Dick Durbin to be able to tell the difference between legal residents and illegal aliens – after all, this is a man who has already demonstrated that he can’t differentiate between American servicemen and the genocidal foot soldiers of the Khmer Rouge,” Tancredo said.Tancredo was referring to the comments Durbin made on the Senate floor in 2005. The Senator said:"If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags or some mad regime — Pol Pot or others — that had no concern for human beings,"

Tancredo then extended an invitation to tutor Durban on the difference between American soldiers and Nazi’s, and Soviets along with legal residents and illegal aliens.Tancredo alerted the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency yesterday regarding Durbin’s 3:00 PM meeting. No charges have been brought against Durban or anyone associated with the event.
Shucks, why ain't I surprised by that last sentence!
