Tom Tancredo will be happy. The Colorado congressman — and big-time pusher of strict immigration
policies — was frustrated last year when the Super Bowl would not allow an ad by the Border Patrol
in its game program. The NFL objected to some strong language, such as “It’ll be your responsibil-
ity to prevent the entry of terrorists and their weapons into the AP United States.”
When the NFL sent the ad back to the Border Patrol and asked for a change in the language, the patrol never resubmitted the ad.
