Former Congressman Tom Tancredo — the same guy who said we should send the president back to Kenya and said a Supreme Court nominee is part of the “Latino KKK” — said this weekend that the new Arizona immigration law goes a little too far.
“If I had anything to say about it, we’d be doing it in Colorado,” Tancredo told Denver news station KDVR. But, he said, “I do not want people here, there in Arizona, pulled over because you look like should be pulled over.”
The law, signed by Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday, requires law enforcement officers to demand immigration papers from anyone they have a “reasonable suspicion” may be in the country illegally.
Tancredo is a Republican who is known for taking a hard line against immigration. He recently told a Tea Party the country should send President Obama back to Kenya and said Obama was elected because the U.S. doesn’t require passing a “literacy test” in order to vote.
Last year, he said he didn’t know if Obama hates white people and claimed now-Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was a member of the “Latino KKK,” referring to Latino advocacy group La Raza.
