After years of pushing the issue, Littleton Republican has ear of GOP leadership
WASHINGTON - Rep. Tom Tancredo bounced around his office Thursday with a smile that rarely turned to a scowl.
"You can't imagine how neat it is to stand here and listen to this," he said, gesturing toward a large TV screen where a parade of men in power suits alternately praised or ripped some of his pet provisions included in a pending immigration enforcement bill.
It was the first day of congressional debate on a bill by Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., that would increase penalties on illegal immigrants and the people who employ them.
