Tancredo almost single-handedly fighting illegal alien voter fraud
Jim Kouri Jim Kouri
August 9, 2006
During the pro-illegal alien rallies in cities across the US last Spring, activists were hard at work registering illegal aliens to vote as Democrats. In New York, a city that doesn't require proof of citizenship to vote, activists registered tens of thousands of illegal aliens during a huge demonstration in Manhattan. News reporters on the scene ignored the illegal voter registration, preferring to give Americans a distorted view of the illegal alien issue.
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.
Citizenship is the major requirement to vote in the United States. However, the integrity of the vote is being ignored by lawmakers and enforcers, resulting in widespread practice of voter fraud.
For example, during the special election in the 50th Congressional District in California, Democrat Francine Busby told a predominately Latino crowd a few days before the election, "You don't need papers for voting." Republican Rep. Brian Bilbray won the election by 7,000 votes.
Tancredo also alleges that Illegal votes may have made the difference in at least one Congressional election. In 1996, Republican Rep. Bob Dornan lost his Orange County, California seat to Democrat Loretta Sanchez by fewer than 1,000 votes. State elections officials found that at least 300 votes in that election were cast illegally by non-citizens, but they failed to conduct an indepth investigation.
"In many states today, you can register to vote without ever being required to show that you are a citizen. Motor-voter registration and a rise in absentee ballots have only exacerbated voter fraud. If certain states are really so committed to protecting illegal aliens who vote, let them put their money where their mouth is and take a hard hit in federal funding," said Tancredo.
The VIP Act, if passed, will stipulate that state and local election officials may not provide a ballot for an election for federal office (including a provisional ballot) to any individual unless the person presents a photographic copy of a document that proves the voter is a US citizen.
In addition, because many states issue motor vehicle driver's licenses to illegal aliens, they will not be considered as a document which provides proof of citizenship unless the state issuing the license requires proof of citizenship as a condition of receiving the license.
If the Tancredo bill passes, starting with the 2008 election cycle, states which do not comply with the VIP Act would sacrifice 10 percent of their federal highway funding, and they would see an additional 10 percent cut in funding each year for an additional three years, or until they have come into compliance with the Act. If the states comply with the Act during the first four years, they will receive their entire lost federal highway funding in future appropriations.
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.

That's our guy - Tancredo go go go.
Wonder when the bill will be introduced? Does anyone know details?
Just another example of the insanity of this country, you don't have to prove citizenship in NY? Well, Mayor Bloomberg says his city would collapse without illegals. Senator Hillary probably sees plenty of votes she can get. Actually that is probably why NY is that way, the Dems run the state and can count on votes votes votes.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at https://eepurl.com/cktGTn
