USA Today: Rick Santorum won the backing today of former Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo, a prominent critic of illegal immigration.
Santorum is campaigning in Colorado ahead of the state's GOP presidential caucuses on Feb. 7. The endorsement was first reported by the Associated Press.
Tancredo ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and took a hard line on immigration issues. He strongly opposed efforts by Arizona Sen. John McCain, who became the 2008 GOP nominee, to pass legislation that included a path to U.S. citizenship for illegal immigrants.
Tancredo, who lost a third-party bid for Colorado governor in 2010, has ties to the Tea Party movement.
