Former GOP congressman takes on swine flu response, amnesty, free speech
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
Swine flu has been confirmed by laboratory tests in 1,516 patients in 22 countries, according to the WHO. Mexico has reported 942 cases, including 29 deaths, while the U.S. has 403 cases and two deaths.
Despite the increasing number of U.S. cases, President Obama is solidly against closing the U.S.-Mexico border to contain the outbreak, likening such a move to "closing the barn door after the horses are out."
Former Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado disagrees: "The problem is you cannot necessarily contain it but what you're trying to do is minimize the impact, of course, and reduce the number of people coming into the country with it."
Tancredo believes the administration's refusal to act is also indicative of a "desire on the part of many people to eliminate borders."
"I know it sounds strange, but I assure you that there are people committed to a North American Union just like a European Union, where you have not just an economic arrangement – low tariffs or no tariffs – but you actually have a political arrangement like the European Parliament, which now collects taxes and passes laws."

2 people die in over 3 weeks? More people die of pnemonia! More people die from drinking and driving-are we going to stop selling beer to prevent it? NO! This swine flu bullsh!t is just the MSM's way of getting some attention since everybody is sick of hearing about the tanking economy. Its not a whole lot different than the common flu...
Tom Tancredo? The guy is batsh!t insane.
This post is crap. Tancredo is a nut job. Wingnut Capo.
If the GOP is looking for a spokesperson, Tancredo ain't it.
The post was about open borders like the EU and not necessarily Tancredo's battiness. Makes you think since Clinton was the last one to actually acknowledge trade with our neighbors, he signed NAFTA and then did nothing from there...hmmm
all Obama needs is a little mustache
