The bold congressman has passed his most successful bill in the past few years (Hat tip: Day In Day Out and Hot Air). It denies emergency funds to sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants.

Tancredo said he thinks his amendment is an indicator that the House would crush the reform plan [i.e., amnesty bill] if it passes in the Senate.

“If I were (Speaker of the House) Nancy Pelosi, I’d be asking if she could pass a vote on amnesty on the House side,” Tancredo said. “If she lost 50 Democrats on this one, and she says she needs 70 Republicans to pass the immigration plan, this is an interesting indicator of things coming down the pike, and that the times, they are a-changing.”

I think this is something for which to consider Tancredo a candidate for president, and there's every possibility that now, he'll be able to go on to submit equally successful law bills.
