Former Republican Congressman from the 6th Congressional District of Colorado Tom Tancredo has switched his support to Andrew Thomas for Attorney General of Arizona—according to the Thomas campaign site—after Tancredo learned of Horne’s support for amnesty.
The Thomas web site published a statement from Tancredo saying,
“Among my many shortcomings is the propensity to accept on face value what I am told by a candidate about themselves and their political beliefs. That was the case, I am afraid, when I endorsed Tom Horne for Attorney General in Arizona. I did not do due diligence. Mea Culpa. Let me try and rectify my rash decision by stating here that, after becoming aware of Mr. Horne’s support for amnesty for illegal aliens and Mr. Thomas’ consistent and principled opposition to amnesty I want to clearly and loudly express my admiration and support for Andy Thomas for Attorney General. The facts speak for themselves in this race and on this issue. I simply did not take the time to check them out. Don’t let yourself be misled by false claims of “being tough on illegal immigration. Andy Thomas is the real deal.”
According to the East Valley Tribune in an article entitled,
Arizona taxpayers spend up to $1.2 billion annually to educate children of illegal immigrants, Horne would reward illegals with citizenship if they obtain a high school diploma and pass a test.
