Product Description

Many Americans were shocked by the rhetoric and demands voiced during the immigration protests in the Spring of 2006. From Los Angeles to Atlanta, from Phoenix to Chicago, an estimated two million protesters marched in more than fifty cities. They demanded a blanket amnesty for illegal aliens under the banner of "immigrant rights" and insisted that rights now afforded legal immigrants should be granted to those here illegally. Anything short of that was condemned as "racist."

How could the United States have come to such a pitiful condition?

Congressman Tom Tancredo has been the only consistent voice in our government warning Americans of the dangers of failing to secure our borders and fix the nation's immigration system. Five years after the attacks of September 11, 2001, the U.S. government still has done virtually nothing to secure America's borders. The government largely ignores the threats to our safety and sovereignty resulting from its refusal to fix a broken system.

What is happening on our borders is one story, but what is happening within America is even more disturbing. As would-be terrorists plot attacks on our country, vocal advocates of multiculturalism are sapping our strength from within. Together, they form a potent adversary that is as great a threat to our nation as anything we have faced in our history.

As a result, America is in the midst of an identity crisis. As a nation we no longer seem to know who we are or what we believe. Instead of "one nation under God," we are divided, confused, and angry. We need to understand how this has happened and the underlying causes that have us to this divided point.

Tom Tancredo lays out the case that unless the United States changes course, it is headed toward catastrophe. Like the great and mighty empires of the past—"superpowers" that onces stretched from horizon to horizon—America is heading down the road to ruin. Without strong moral leadership, without a renewed sense of purpose, without a rededication to family and community, without shunning the race hustlers and pop-culture sham artists, without protecting our borders, language, and culture, the nation that was once the "land of the free and home of the brave" and the "one last hope of mankind" will repeat the catastrophic mistakes of the past. In Mortal Danger is his prescription for beginning to repair the damage.

Persuasive Arguments For Border Control And Immigration Reform
For many years Congressman Tancredo has been a lone voice in the wilderness trying to raise the consciousness of the American people to the insidious impact of the ever-increasing inflow of illegal immigrants on American society. "In Mortal Danger" clearly sets out the Congressman's arguments for his concerns in concise and straightforward common sense language.

He is also one of the few public figures to recognize the equally insidious impact of the highly promoted cult of multi-culturalism being encouraged in so many segments of American society, and how this discourages the assimilition of immigrants into our society.

He is not afraid to identify simple ineptitude or downright corruption by governmental agencies charged with enforcing our immigration laws, regardless of the political persuasion of those who happen to be in power.

Illegal immigration is still a tough issue for many who feel that the lax policies followed by our government for so many years are the compassionate way. In this post 9-11 world however, Tancredo's arguments as presented in this book will be particularly persuasive to those who may still be on the fence.

author and Presidential Candidate Tom Tancredo in 2008
Colorado Representative Tancredo makes clear that the politically correct labeling of illegal laborers as "undocumented" is incorrect, as most of them have forged documents, forged social security numbers, and/or stolen identities - they are guilty of Felony Document Fraud in addition to having broken a number of other laws to be in our country illegally.


Tom Tancredo is also very clear that our governments failure to uphold our laws by prosecuting the employers of illegals, as well as prosecuting sanctuary communities, sanctuary cities, sanctuary states, and the officials that promote unconstitutional local amnesty ordinances are in themselves guilty of criminal offenses, not the least of which is aiding and abetting, and as such are subject to prosecution.

Amazing book!
Written in an easy-to-read language, Tom Tancredo's book is a real eye-opener.

I recommend this book for any budding conservative of any age- especially if he's our next President. If this book is his campaign statement, then we have the opportunity to elect a true American.
