MANCHESTER, N.H. –Presidential hopeful Tom Tancredo said Tuesday he will work against fellow Republicans — among them rival John McCain — who support an immigration bill he considers a sellout.
The little-known candidate said he is launching a petition drive and volunteer network to help voters campaign against senators who support the White House-backed immigration plan. The bill would provide a pathway to citizenship to the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants already in the United States.
“We believe it is the worst piece of legislation that has come down the pike in a long time,” the Colorado congressman said at a news conference outside Republican Sen. Judd Gregg’s office in New Hampshire. “For a Republican to be talking about other Republicans, trying to take them on and defeat them in primaries, that’s a somewhat injudicious thing for me to do. But this is an issue that surpasses all the niceties that go along with political camaraderie that you develop.”
