Washington, DC -- Congressman Tom Tancredo unveiled his "Optimizing Visa Entry Rules and Demanding Uniform Enforcement" (OVERDUE) immigration bill which will undoubtedly be unpopular among political elites, big business and big labor.
" “Congress must take on the tough issues and follow through on what we’ve been sent out here to do and serve in the best interest of the people we represent,” said Tancredo. “For too long the special interests and political heavy weights have tried to sell us on the need for an Amnesty and justify their refusal to enforce the law, but the American people fought back and said no thanks.” "
A few of the bill's provisions includes...
#Restoring America's immigration system to more traditional numbers.
#Eliminates "chain migration" the accordance with recommendations of the Jordan commission.
#Ensures the automatic birthright citizenship to children born in the US only if at least one parent is a citizen or a lawful permanent resident.
#Prohibits states from granting in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens on a basis of graduation from US high schools unless they offer the same rates to all US citizens.
#Affirms the inherent authority of state and local law enforcement officers to enforce the immigration laws of the United States.

Sounds great to me - fair and sensible.
I doubt if the crooked politicians will go along with it. The crooked ones are the ones that are trying to cater to what they think are 15-20 million new voters.
Good luck Tom.
I see a town on the East Coast passed a law that gives all its citizens city ID cards so they can utilize services....and the card is for everyone, including illegal immigrants. They just opened the flood gates. If the Feds don;t get a grip on the situation, it will become very volitile. As it is so far, people are actually behaving. I predict it will get worse as the pre election crap drags on.
Violence is already rampant in areas where the illegals out number the legals. Violent crimes on the rise and 75% of the guilty parties are hispanic. Even tolerant people will reach a point of frustration and anger. President Bush is ignoring most issues as all he wants is to get out before impeachment. Wish they would do the job they are getting paid (very well) for...politicians that is.
