Tancredo almost single-handedly fighting illegal alien voter fraud
Aug 17th 2006MichaelPolitics & Pro America
This has been tried before
Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO), chairman of the Immigration Reform Caucus in the US House of Representative, declared in a press statement that he introduced a bill that would penalize states which refuse to require proof of US citizenship before someone is allowed to vote in federal elections.
Under the Voter Integrity Protection Act (VIP Act), states would need to see a valid photo ID proving US Citizenship for voting or those states would have their federal highway funding cut by as much as 40 percent, according to the Tancredo statement.
“In some parts of our country, all residents are granted a de facto right to vote, regardless of whether or not they are citizens. Such widespread voter fraud blurs the line between residency and citizenship and it reinforces the message that you don’t need to be an American to have every right and privilege of American citizenship. If even non-citizens can vote, what value does American citizenship have anymore?” said Tancredo.
“Illegal votes undermine our democracy. The VIP Act would help preserve the integrity of our democratic system, which is one of the most important responsibilities we have in Congress,” he added.
But this time the critics wont have many outs
The bill also provides funding to make free photo identifications available in order to avoid any challenges based on the 24th Amendment’s prohibition of poll taxes, which would take away the rationale for activist judges to overturn state laws requiring voter identification.

Tancredo is a lonely voice of sanity when it comes to illegal invades (aka “undocumented workers”).
IMO, birthright citizenship needs to come to an end. See

for a few details about some judicial precedents.

He’s the ONLY one who has ever written me back in response to letters I send…Hand written replies no less- not photocopied crap!
Have you read his latest book, In Mortal Danger??
Everyone needs to do so.

What it all boils down to is that the occupational titles “senator” and “representative” have, for the most part, become as noteworthy as “street walker” or “pawn broker”.
If only we had more politicians with the patriotic gene possessed by Tom Tancredo…

BWAHAHA Seth…such apt titles for these elite idiots.
Tancredo isn’t PC. He’s a bull in a china shop (Sort of like Bush once was)- all the dainty gay little porcelain cups and saucers rattle whenever Tom enters the house. He needs to run for the big office. I stand with him- over any other half asswiped candidate.
He sent me letters and I don’t even live in his state. THAT is way cool.

I have read his last book and it is a keeper.
Tom is a rare breed these days.

Tom has a chance. We need to convince him to just do it…

If we stop buying or using the services of companies that employ illegal aliens, that will hurt the companies more than the money they make from the cheap labor. And the illegals will go home if there are no jobs for them here.
