Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo's address to the crowd focused around his stance on values and immigration, zeroing in on the theme of great tests in American history in relation to current issues.

"Every generation in America must pass the test," Tancredo said. "Will we be so weak to the cultural barbarians that are at the gate? This is our country!" said Tancredo, sending his supporters, who were packed into the aisles, into a frenzy of applause.

In foreign policy and conflict, Tancredo made it clear that if he were elected president, foreign policy would involve winning on absolute and definitive terms.

"The only rule of engagement under the Tancredo administration would be 'We win, you lose'!" said Tancredo.

On immigration, Tancredo's stance was concise and simple; those who do not legally reside in the United States must face punishments under the law.

"We will deport people, because that is the law," said Tancredo. "Washington has failed to do its job and let the problem fester."

In closing, Tancredo went into specifics on immigration reform, issuing a threat to cities that pass local resolutions offering amnesty to illegal immigrants.

"We will draft legislation to criminalize councilman and mayors who pass laws making their cities sanctuaries," Tancredo said. "Political correctness can cost us our lives."
