Tom Tancredo in 2018 CO Governor's race


On Immigration: Sanctuary Cities are a travesty but I hate identity politics

In last night's Channel 4 story about Walker Stapleton [a candidate for governor whom Tancredo supports], there was an insinuation that because of my defense and relationship to an immigration reform group, erroneously defined as a "white nationalist" organization, that my support Mr. Stapleton taints his candidacy.

I hate identity politics. In my support or criticism of public policies I make no distinction based on anyone's race or color of skin. My love for America and my steadfast desire to help preserve its promise--and indeed the promise of freedom and opportunity for all people--has never been about race.

My Congressional office assisted thousands of Americans of every imaginable racial, religious and ethnic background. No request for support was ever turned down because of the anyone's race, sexual orientation or ethnicity.

I support Mr. Stapleton because of his opposition to the travesty of Sanctuary Cities.
