Tom Tancredo and Bay Buchanan, co-chairs of the Team America PAC, a political action committee "dedicated to securing our nation's border," and bashing Mexicans in the process, have set up a campaign finance committee to support AZ Senate President Russell Pearce, who is facing a recall in AZ District 18. Pearce is best known for pushing SB1070, although that is but one part of his multiple evil doings.
Why are Tancredo and Buchanan getting involved?
Team America PAC exists for one and only one reason: to support the election to Congress of candidates who share our commitment to supporting full border security, and opposing all amnesty measures for illegal aliens (whether they call it amnesty or not). In other words, Team America PAC only supports candidates that you and I would support. Team America PAC's endorsement is the "Tancredo Gold Seal of Approval" for congressional candidates who support real immigration reform and oppose amnesty.

(In case they didn't notice, Pearce is not running for congress and 10,000 people in his district signed a recall petition to dump him.)
And to Tancredo, border security also requires deriding fellow Americans with absurd claims and Obama digs.
La Raza is a racist, anti-American organization that demands an unlimited flow of illegal immigrants into our country with social services for every one of them. They would bankrupt America even faster than Obama could.
The recall election is a light in a tunnel. I don't think Tancredo and Buchanan's influence will sway the voters in district 18 who have been bullied way too long under Russell Peace.
