Tancredo Is Just Joking, Right?

I don't know if his plan is to keep other citizens of Texas out of Brownsville or to keep Brownsville residents out of the rest of Texas, but Congressman Tom Tancredo made a very strange statement in Brownsville yesterday. Here's the story from the Channel 5 TV station in Weslaco:

BROWNSVILLE - A Colorado Congressman is under fire this morning for making a controversial statement to some Brownsville landowners.

Republican Tom Tancredo supports the border wall. The U.S. representative attended the hearing in Brownsville yesterday.

During the hearing, he told the Brownsville landowners, "I suggest that you build this fence around the northern part of your city..." implying that all of Brownsville should be on the Mexican side of the wall.

Right now NEWSCHANNEL 5 is working to get clarification from Congressman Tancredo.

Since there are no enough information it is too early to comment. But for sure this is going to have serious implications on the land owners.

Surely he meant the southern city limits, but Congressman Tancredo is such a loose cannon that he may have decided to give up on Brownsville and just cede it to Mexico!
