Tancredo, of Colorado, who is the chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus and the acknowledged leader in the United States Congress on the issues of immigration reform and border security stated, "I need Jim Gilchrist with me in Congress. Together Jim and I can fight to stop illegal immigration. The voters of the 48th Congressional District will be well represented by Jim Gilchrist-he's the real deal, he's a real leader." To underscore Tancredo's commitment to the Gilchrist campaign, he and Gilchrist, the founder of the Minuteman Project, have spent substantial time together in recent days mapping strategy designed to help halt illegal immigration and enhance border security.
