Tancredo, Reform Caucus Draw the Line "Rep. Tom Tancredo and 70 other U.S. representatives warned in a letter Thursday that any legislation passed in the Senate that allows illegal Comments
Good for Tom Tancredo, I trust all Rep. join with him and defeat any bill that allows illegals to work in America. Posted by: Larry Freeman on March 17, 2006 02:51 PM Tancredo and the other 70 U.S. reps are the ones you want in office working for the people, not the others who sell us out... Specter, Kennedy, McCain and others like em are the enemies of America and the American worker... These clowns just ignore the will of the people, so it`s time for the people to ignore them... Illegal immigration is everyones problem, but the sell-outs ignore it for votes and big business payoffs... These people need to go come November! Posted by: Independent One on March 17, 2006 03:03 PM The Senate needs to pay the jails for housing criminal illegals. All across the U.S. they owe millions for food and housing these illegals in small jails. Little towns in the midwest they owe tens of thousands to. Big cities they owe millions to. Pay this bill before you ask more to come. The citizens of the U.S. should not pay to protect ourselves when you want more and more for ???. YOU WANT MORE ILLEGALS because you got campaign contributions from BIG BUSINESSES THAT want to save $2.00 an hour on labor? F*** You. Spectors mouth is writing checks his ass can't cover. They owe my county over 1 million and they need to pay it NOW. Now, pay your jail bills, the officers need the money and it's costing the local taxpayers. I will go door to door with the rest of the minutemen to get Americans to refuse to pay taxes for illegals. How can you ask us to do this, just to give them our jobs? How can you let towns in the U.S. be taken over by illegals? What happens when Fox calls them to start using suicide bombers? You don't know anything, and you shouldn't take anything for granted when it is Americans lives at stake. I hate you, I'll pray you have a heart attack or a stroke and lay comatose in a bed getting huge bed sores for the rest of your life. I want thousands of minutemen to pray for the same thing at 5:00 tonight. And, everynight. THINK about what you are doing. WHY? You have to be taking bribes? Posted by: Bone on March 17, 2006 03:13 PM The question is why there are only 71 signatures if there are 90-100 members in the Immigration Reform Caucus alone. Where's Sensenbrenner's signature? Oh, I forgot...He's not "Philisophically opposed to a guest-worker program" or nor is he opposed to flip flopping on a dime when big business leans on him I suppose. Never trust a politician period! Posted by: TruePatriot on March 17, 2006 03:47 PM What can I say, people like Tom give me hope that we may win out yet. Brian Posted by: Brian on March 17, 2006 03:50 PM You tell 'em, Tom Tancredo! Posted by: Born American on March 17, 2006 03:52 PM i know that some of the people that read this and post to your sight are probably good people. But... some are just ignorant. I do agree that our immigration laws need to be looked at and something has to be done, but some of the remarks here are just as stupid as the people that post them. Most of the illegal immigrants only work at jobs that Americans wont have. We have so many lazy, drug addicted American males that sell drugs or steal for a living and never pay a dime in taxes, on the other hand we have so many hard working illegal immigrants that work 12 hour days and yes, many do pay in taxes that are used to support all of our lazy "Americans" on welfare! They pay taxes on food,property, and anything they purchase and most have it taken out of their checks. They arent legal, therefore they do not file any income tax at the end of the year to get a refund. So in reality the government is making a killing off of the illegals! I bet most of the people that write in this website have never been to the poor countries and witnessed the reasons that they come illegally to U.S.to work and try to make a better life for themselves. It isnt their fault they were born on one side of the border, and it is only luck we were born on the other side of that border. I am as American as you can get, blonde hair blue eyes, and born to prejudice parents. But I married a "Wetback" and would not have it any other way!!!so my "halfback" children have not been raised with the stupidity that my parents brought me up with. I wish that before you all get high and mighty, you research your ancestors and find out you are all mixed bred muts. Posted by: Robbin on March 17, 2006 05:06 PM I Would pay BIG $$$ to watch Tancredo wipe the floor with this left wing liberal from Chicago. He was a main speaker @ last week end's illegal alien rally in Chicago. U would have thought he was Adolph Hitler! Screw him and the horse he rode in on. Give him hell Tom. WARNING! Watch the Chamber of Commerce pull out ALL the stops when the bill with the guest worker amnesty comes across for apporval by the House! They claim that without their influence (aka: buying votes) the Sensenbrenner Bill would have passed with a much greater margin. That may be why all the Caucus didn't sign the letter to Specter. Posted by: Macman on March 17, 2006 05:52 PM Rep. Tancredo is for real. The House can make the Senate a hell on Earth if it so chooses, and it should do so if amnesty gets tacked onto an enforcement bill. Give 'em hell, Tom. Posted by: jack white on March 17, 2006 06:17 PM Our only hope is that voices like Tom Tancredo's are not shouted down with jibes of racist and bigot! It's logical and necessary to tackle security and enforcement first, then start training and hiring American citizens, especially those on welfare and those on unemployment to take the jobs business and industry are so sure no one will do... We have to demand that Congress do the right thing...stand up for Americans and stop kowtowing to big business, lobbyists and foreign governments! We can and will replace the crooked politicians who have their own agendas and best interests at heart...Its' time to take America back! Posted by: takn on March 17, 2006 07:50 PM Guitterez is not an "immigrant". He's a Puerto Rican (last time I knew PR is a territory of the U.S. and all its natural born residents are U.S. citizens). He has been pandering to the so-called "pro-illegals" since he was a lowly, loud-mouthed City Councilman in Chicago. He profited from America's obsession with "diversity", he's not qualified to represent anyone as a Senator. Posted by: contessa on March 17, 2006 08:41 PM I am so very proud of this group of American heroes, who are so very willing to stand up for citizens of this country, who are crying our for reprieve. What I don't understand is the fact that the projected 2006 US budget deficit will be around $360 billion. $400 billion is the amount that is estimated regarding the underpayments to the IRS this year. If everyone paid their fair share of taxes, there would be no deficit. As it is, this will be owed by our children and our grandchildren. Yet, the answer politicians have is more illegals? The more "guestworkers", aka illegals, who enter this country, the larger both of these amounts will become. The illegals are depressing wages for US citizens, which means that they won't make as much money so will pay fewer taxes. All this means less money for the government. Since those who are here illegally are mostly working under the table, so pay no taxes but do cost assorted levels of government for services, it can only mean an extra burden on the very entities that are saying illegals are needed. Businesses claim they don't have adequate labor when 14-16 million US citizens are out of work, yet they don't pay all the taxes or the services illegals use. Ultimately, even though businesses are overregulated in this country and have to deal with 50,000 pages of new regulations per year that politicians come up with, they will eventually be the ones who will be forking over more money, so the government can fund itself. It seems to me they are shooting themselves in the foot in the long run just to have more profits right now. It's instant gratification at all costs, and that is the height of immaturity. The Middle Class has been the group that had funded the government in the past, but we are being destroyed, so where is the money going to come from. I ask this of the Open Borders Lobby. I just heard the job of Tooth Fairy has even been outsourced to some country with the worst dental health on the planet, so there won't be any money coming from here.. We need to stop looking for temporary solutions to permanent problems in this country. I realize that cheating the government is the world's second oldest profession. However, I agree with Milton Friedman, who stated, "It's just obvious, you can't have free immigration and a welfare state." I also find it very unsettling that the civil rights community is refusing to deal with the issues of human trafficking and the underground slave trade. Even the Reverend Al Sharpton and Bishop Mahoney are doing everything they can, in the name of religion, to keep the oppressed as down as they can. Check out Terry Anderson's web site. There's going to be a gathering of those disgruntled with our immigration policies at Crawford, Texas on May 6, 2006. Guess who's ranch will unwittingly host the gathering? Jim Gilchrist will be there, and I hope that quite a few people will be able to attend and make their voices heard. The southern states are really taking a beating and have for longer than the others. There are 5 billion people on the planet, who are poorer than Mexicans. The US cannot save them all. It is better to teach someone to fish, than to just give them fish, as they will be able to not only change their own lives but their countries as well. Sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, who created our beautiful Statue of Liberty, believed in a Republican government and wanted this for France. "I will try to glorify the Republic and Liberty over there in the hope that someday I will find it here again." The statue was a beautiful gift from France, but it is a revolutionary symbol for the oppressed to create democracy in their own country. That was the creator's intent. The Emme Lazarus poem, "The New Colossus" is not inscribed on the base of the statute, and it is not and was not part of Bartholdi's vision. The statue was erected in 1886, and the poem's inclusion occurred on a separate event in 1903, after her death. The poem was dedicated by her friends, and not by any official of the federal government. The Lazarus poem should be removed from Bedloe Island, and it certainly should not be used as part of some supposed message from the Statue of Liberty, a present from France. Inanimate objects only speak in cartoons. It is certainly not an invitation from our government for people to come here any way they can. America cannot grow in population forever. I thank these brave individuals for knowing the truth and for being fearless in their quest for it. Strength and honor, gentlemen, and bless you for your efforts. Posted by: jaded on March 18, 2006 01:02 AM Tom Tancredo needs to receive a round of applause from all of us. He is a brave man who wants to save the American workers and families from a major catastrophe. Posted by: Just American on March 18, 2006 01:24 AM We can only hope and pray that the outrage of another amnesty is not perpetrated on the American people. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 amnesty of 3 million illegal aliens was the inch. The repeat amnesty abomination of 4 times that number of scofflaws from the 3 Stooges (Specter / Kennedy - McCain) is the mile. Give 'em an inch and the crooks will take a mile. It will be a next to impossible fight against the ruling oligarchy and their lackies, but at least there are the Tom Tancredos, J.D. Hayworths, and other American patriots out there that give us hope that we might be able to stick the mile where the sun doesn't shine to the 3 Stooges and their crooked corporate benefactors. Keep the faith that justice and integrity will eventually prevail...no more amnesties / rewards for scofflaws and their greedy crooked employers. Posted by: Paul Johnston on March 18, 2006 07:31 PM Chris Simcox, President of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps recently stated, "Chairman Specter and Senator Kennedy have sent a message to the untold millions of illegal aliens, who have demonstrated their contempt for the sovereignty and laws of the United States: Crime Pays!...Most galling to Americans is that they have been forced to subsidize this invasion with their tax dollars, insurance premiums and social services, while the operational control of our borders has been ceded to international criminal cartels....The Senate is put on notice--the American people are fed up....Because they refuse to protect this nation by passing legislation calling for the National Guard troops to immediately secure the borders, the Senate will be responsible for the chaos and lawlessness that will be brought on by their reckless failure of responsibility. The American people will pay at the border, the Senate will pay at the ballot box." Mexico's 8 month plan to deal with border violence called Secure Mexico has not been effective at all. The general, who was in charge, has vanished, the drug killings have increased, the news reports have been silenced; and members of the two warring drug trafficking cartels have infiltrated the program's elite antidrug forces. Assaults on US Border Patrol officers have increased 108% this year, according to recent Congressional testimony. Mexico has announced a new program, Northern Border, which will add 600-800 more federal police agents to Nuevo Laredo. Oh goody, hundreds of corruptable males--just what's needed! Thursday, 4 federal police were gunned down in the daytime outside of a school--shot over 30 times by drug traffickers. The general, Alvara Moreno, the head of Secure Mexico, was supposed to report to the federal Ministry of Public Security, but they haven't heard from him in weeks. He's probably dead somewhere. 50 people have been killed in Nuevo Laredo in 3 months, a rate that is outpacing last year's when 170 people in total died. There have been no arrests either, and I would bet that no one is even looking. Ruben Aguilar, Fox's mouthpiece, has said that efforts to get rid of corrupt city police officers has failed. Hit men, who killed the 4 agents, were municipal police who worked for the cartels. Jorge Chabat, expert of US-Mexican relations and border security has said, "It's clear that the Mexican federal government doesn't have the capacity to stop the wave of violence." The Secure Mexico program was intended to weed out local police corruption and place all levels of law enforcement under the command of a single military official, the missing General Moreno. Under the new iniative, agents from the Federal Preventative Police (PPP) will be used. Public Security Secretary, Eduardo Medina Mora acknowledged in a December news conference that there were PPP agents who'd been involved in organized criminal activity acts that were "totally intolerable" and under investigation. Mexico's solution to its border violence is 4 iniatives that include: decreasing pseudophedrine allowed into Mexico to 80 tons from 300, establishing 5 checkpoints on their federal highways leading from Mexico to Arizona, requiring Mexicans to obtain special identification for social services in Mexico, and requiring all vehicles that are re-registered after sale to have computer chips installed to track and trace their movements. Arizona is sharing information with Sonora state regarding criminals and stolen vehicles to provide enhanced law enforcement on the border. It seems that the citizens of Mexico are so corruptable that putting even more of them on the border just means that more and more will turn themselves over to the dark side of the drug culture. Why are we continuing to believe Mexico will do something to assist in stemming the violence, when every attempt they make just creates more violence. Drugs are the number one industry in that country; and they don't want to see the money disappear, just as they don't want the illegal flow of their citizens or the remittances sent back to stop. They can just sit back, not fix anything that's wrong with the country and rake in the dough. All of this activity funds the elites ability to maintain their lifestyles. They have Spanish blood coursing through their veins--not that of the indigenous or the few blacks in the country. This is all about what they deserve, and why they deserve to have all the wealth they can muster. Even our ambassador to Mexico, has married into the mob of the elites. Such strange bedfellows--the drug cartels and the elites; and if you believe they are not tied together, then I have the ability to find a quiet business in Nuevo Laredo that I am certain is up for sale--cheap. How in the world do DC politicians think we will be able to keep out members of the drug cartels,, if we continue on the path we are on of allowing our borders to remain porous. They are already here, but that number will increase dramatically; and they will first head to sanctuary cities, where they will find the protection they need courtesy of Democratic mayors of those cities. I wonder why the Democratic Party needs to have drugs come into this country and think they are all involved in using them, if they truly believe we need millions more illegally in this country. What we are allowing is a 21st Century version of the Mariel boat droppings, when Cuba got rid of their undesirables. Build the fence, put the military on the border and deport everyone who is in this country illegally. Posted by: jaded on March 19, 2006 02:42 AM Well, the Patriot Act was renewed by the persistance (and midnight session) of Bush and his bloc in Congress. Bush has also used tricks to appoint people when Congress is out of session, etc.. Tancredo probably doesn't have enough members in his bloc to stop Bush and his bloc. The "cartel" will get the immigration they want, if necessary they will resort to what ever it takes to get the job done. JFK. Here is your chance to see how much power we have. Contact your congressmen like mad. After we lose, you all will say we can kick them out in 2008 elections. Then when we find out that the newly elected are also in the hip pocket of the "cartel", then it will be 2009 or so. Oh how much longer do we go on believing in a democracy that doesn't exist? Posted by: Shelby Moore on March 19, 2006 08:31 AM The American people are against any guest worker program(amnesty).So why are people like Kennedy and Mccain proposing exactly that?Could it be money from their wealthy contributors who want cheap labor?That being the case only one word comes to mind-corruption. Posted by: John E. Mallernee on March 19, 2006 10:32 AM Since Tancredo has such a problem with hispanics, maybe he should GO BACK TO ITALY! Posted by: Juan Valdez on March 19, 2006 12:17 PM I have been trying to figure out why a guestworker/amnesty program would even make sense to anyone who isn't a left wing, flaming liberal. I cannot come up with any reason why we need more people, when our government is clueless about how many illegals are here now. The only thing I could come up with is that our education system is getting so liberal and not offering other points of view to people. Combine that with our ultra-liberal media and the truth isn't being presented in any kind of a balanced form. The National Education Association, the nation's largest teacher's union, spent over $90 million from 2004-2005 on mostly liberal political activities. In a national survey, Democratic professors outnumber Republicans: 3:1 in economics, 28:1 in sociology and 30:1 in anthropology. I couldn't find the rates for other subjects, but imagine there is heavy leaning toward the majority of college professors being liberals. No wonder a balanced message isn't getting across. I think that companies and industries, who complain about needing workers, need to look at other options. There are areas of the country that have higher unemployment rates than others. Why don't those companies assist unemployed US citizens to transfer to other parts of the country and work for them? What about those in prison for low level crimes? We need those jail cells to house those who are in this country illegally. Can you imagine, we imprison our own citizens for some fairly minor violations and allow illegals to violate a lot of federal, state and local laws and run amuck with organizations and companies fighting over ways to help them? It's positively insane. I am so sick and tired of the low wage BS as rent, food, utilities, clothing, gas and energy costs are the same for illegals as for American citizens. Having illegals in any community or state I have ever lived in just means they will supplement their income by committing theft, prostitution, dealing drugs, and running guns. I have never met an illegal, who wasn't continuing their illegal activities in every way they could. They were willing to openly talk about it to me in my social service positions. They laugh at Americans who want to help them and brag about how they suck them in. We have enough of a drug and criminal problem in this country without purposefully bringing in people from Third World narco-states who've only lived under corrupt regimes. Nothing magically will happen to their personalities when they get here that will make them "good people" as personalities are set when one is around 3 years of age. Our politicians need to learn about human nature and learn that it is virtually impossible for some people's spots to change. No guestworker program--No more amnesties. Illegal is illegal. Posted by: jaded on March 20, 2006 03:04 AM Tell'em TOM! And we need to throw all these pampered/BUM! Senators out of office. McCain/Kennedy,Specter,Brownback for start. They are selling US Citizens out as I write. Most know it & some are afraid to admit it. TREASON in our US SENATE!!! Pro Patria!!!! Posted by: Critter on March 20, 2006 02:09 PM The amount of stupidity here, certainly is overwhelming. Some who post here should speak for themselves and the people they know. Posted by: Born American on March 21, 2006 07:22 PM |
immigrants to work legally will hit a roadblock if it comes back to the House," the Denver Post reports. "'Some of these proposals are fundamentally incompatible with the desire of the American public for real immigration reform and their clear opposition to reform proposals that amount to little more than thinly disguised attempts to provide amnesty,' the House members said in the letter to Judiciary Committee chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa. Tancredo, a Littleton Republican, initiated the letter."
