Tancredo opens New Hampshire campaign HQ

Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo wrapped up a four-day trip to New Hampshire on Monday by opening up his state headquarters in Manchester.

One of the nation's most vocal and prominent opponents of illegal immigration, Tancredo said that if he officially enters the race "it will be to win not just make a statement".

Among those in the audience was state Representative Andrew Renzullo, a Hudson Republican who last year sponsored a bill that would make illegal immigrants guilty of criminal trespass if they were in the state.

Renzullo said he hasn't made up his mind on whom to support for president yet but noted that Tancredo and California Congressman Duncan Hunter, who hold very similar views, may split the vote among those who care about illegal immigration.

"Both drink out of the same fountain," said Renzullo.
