Tancredo Sends Chertoff Lettuce



Rep. Tom Tancredo, Republican from Colorado, to show his disagreement with Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff's recent comments on how failure of passing immigration reform might affect the agricultural industry is sending the cabinet officer a head of lettuce, according to a CNN report.

Reportedly included with the head of lettuce is a fruit basket and a card saying, "Much, much more where this comes from.”

"The administration has taken hyperbole to a whole new level this time," Tancredo said in a statement. "They are now trying to convince the public that without amnesty, the American people are going to starve?"

"The agriculture industry and the free market has managed to keep producing through floods, droughts, and $3.00 per gallon gas," Tancredo added. "I doubt very seriously that a nominal increase in labor costs is going to be the end of lettuce as we know it."
