America not an actual place?
Nov. 19, 2006: President Bush believed America should be more of an idea than an actual place, a then-Republican congressman told WND in a 2006 exclusive interview.
“People have to understand what we’re talking about here. The president of the United States is an internationalist,” said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., at the time. “He is going to do what he can to create a place where the idea of America is just that – it’s an idea. It’s not an actual place defined by borders. I mean this is where this guy is really going.”
Tancredo lashed out at the White House’s lack of action in securing U.S. borders, and he said efforts to merge the U.S. with both Mexico and Canada were not a fantasy.
“I know this is dramatic – or maybe somebody would say overly dramatic – but I’m telling you, that everything I see leads me to believe that this whole idea of the North American Union, it’s not something that just is written about by right-wing fringe kooks. It is something in the head of the president of the United States, the president of Mexico, I think the prime minister of Canada buys into it.”
Tancredo just recently announced that he’s joining the 2018 GOP race for Colorado governor.
