Why Tancredo runs

Re: “Tancredo runs hard, but to what?”  Oct. 22 news story.
The headline to your article accurately tells us that Congressman Tom Tancredo “runs hard.” Indeed he does. But then the headline writer spins: “to what?”
Clearly the article tells us to what “end” Tancredo runs so wholeheartedly. Not so much to be president, but to awaken our political leaders and the American people of the grave dangers of not controlling our borders. As some patriots of the American Revolution ran “to spread the alarm, through every Middlesex village and farm,” of the danger of the English troops in Boston, Tancredo now “runs” to save Americans from being literally destroyed by illegal immigration. Like the article says, immigration is “ranked as the second-most important issue” facing our nation.
