Tancredo's Office a Sanctuary for Immigrants

Whether you love or hate Rep. Tom Tancredo, you've got to admit that this is pretty funny. Members of United Voices for United Families, who work out of Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission Church in Chicago, apparently had a meeting in Tancredo's congressional office and declared it a place of sanctuary for immigrants.:

The group consisted of 10 members, women, men and children who had a scheduled appointment with the congressman's office. They met with legislative assistant Andrew Good to discuss the issue of the mixed status families in America and to bring a very important message.

The group knowing that Congressman Tancredo has a very racist reputation when it comes to Latino immigrants and the issue of Comprehensive Immigration Reform still choose to bring him a message of truth.

The message was brought to the Congressman as a people of faith. Inside of the office the celebration of the Holy Eucharist was performed, all participated, even Mr. Good. During the Celebration of the Eucharist the office was declared a Holy Sanctuary for all immigrants around the world. (Pols emphasis)

Tancredo condemns his own office.
Protesters at City Hall called Thursday for changes to city practices, and U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo last week condemned his office's alleged sanctuary policy.

In a news release, Tancredo said "My office's sanctuary policy prevents local law enforcement from cooperating with federal officials on immigration matters . . ."

In a related editorial, Tancredo stated:

..."Mine is unquestionably a "sanctuary office." We have an official policy in the Police Operations Manual that constricts police communication and inquiries about the immigration status of people encountered in the course of routine police work.

...

This policy is clearly contrary to federal law: 8 United States Code 1373, enacted in 1996, says that local governments may not "prohibit, or in any way restrict" information sharing between local cops and immigration officers. When will my congressional office come into compliance?"

Now I see why he used "the Klinger defense" to get out of military service.  ;-)

it's almost as bad as what was going on in the basement of his Littleton home
