 TWO MEN OF COURAGE
SPEAK OUT ON IMMIGRATION
U.S. House of Representatives, Nov. 27, 2001
Listen

 Tom Tancredo
Rep. Tom Tancredo, Republican, Colorado
  "The defense of this nation begins with the defense of its borders. We have every right to defend our borders. We have every right to ask that citizens who do come into this country to become part of the American mainstream and have a love of this country and and allegiance and attachment to this country. We have every right to ask that. To not do so is sealing our own fate. It is a death wish for the country."

 Virgil Goode
Rep. Virgil Goode, Independent, Virginia
  
"245 i is simply a reference to a statutory number that means we are going to grant amnesty to persons who have broken our laws."
  "I hope we will follow the wisdom of the gentleman from Colorado in rising up and opposing amnesty, whether it is a stand alone bill or whether it is put into any other legislation. This is absolutely the wrong course of action for the United States at this time."
