Tancredo does more anti-immigration stuff.
Tancredo Wants to Turn medical Providers into Border Guards
As one of four co-sponsors of the Illegal Immigrant Health Reform Act, Tom attempted to turn medical providers into border agents, requiring them to collect and forward information about their patients to the Department of Home Land Security or else loose federal funding. The bill was soundly defeated in the US House by a vote of 331-88.

Tom Attacks Successful District Business and the Global Economy
Continuing on his anti-immigrant crusade, Tom turned his focus on one of the most successful businesses in the 6th Congressional District and the global economy. In an attempt to punish hard working immigrants and anyone else who uses wire transfers, Tom proposed levying a tax on all overseas wire transfers. As usual, Tom spoke before thinking; the largest provider of overseas wire transfers is First Data Corp, which just happens to be in the 6th Congressional District.

Tancredo Breaks Term Limit Pledge
How do you top a weeks worth of mean spirited and harmful votes? If you’re Tom Tancredo you lie. On Tuesday, May 25th Tom accepted the Republican nomination to become the Republican Candidate for the 6th Congressional District, officially breaking the term limit pledge he signed in 1998.

1. when you read of persons like this
know that they are fundamentally incompetent and in position, in basal sense, that they should not hold. Be rid of the other 87.

3. All The More Reason...
...for people in his district to vote Democratic this year. How can you trust someone who breaks promises?
