The outspoken anti-immigration advocate wants to block illegal immigrants from nonemergency services such as in-state college tuition and health care

I know I'm behind the times, but is this the story? If a legitimate foreign tourist visits the US and requires emergency treatment, he or she has to pay. US-bound Europeans know how expensive our hospitals are and thus often buy health insurance sold by their travel agent. But Tom Tancredo wants the illegals to get their emergency care for free. And that helps make him "an outspoken anti-immigration advocate."

A leader like this can use a supporting hand and a note of appreciation from law-abiding Americans. Please take a moment of your time to copy and paste his address, sending a word or two of encouragement.

My solution to the problem is this :

Not withstanding any laws already in place - Effective Immediately!

All ILLEGAL aliens have 90 days to turn themselves in and pay a fine of US$1500 failing which, they will be DEPORTED!

All ILLEGAL aliens who turn themselves in and pay their fine will be granted a renewable "guest worker card" - valid for 3 years. To renew this card after 3 years will cost US$1000.

Companies that hire valid "guest workers" will be required to pay a monthly levy to the government of US$350 for each employee hired. ~ This levy must be paid in full in advance. ~ In other words, if Walmart wants to hire an a valid "guest worker" to sweep the floor then they must pay US$12600 up front.

Twenty-five percent of the guest workers salary with 10% deducted from the "guest workers" pay and 15% contributed by the company ~ is to be deducted by the employer and paid to the government to be held in a special fund to be be paid in full to the "guest worker" when they leave the United States. Once a "guest worker" takes the money from their fund, they are not allowed to return as a "guest worker"

"Guest Workers" who are convicted of a criminal offense are DEPORTED and their company paid levy and fund money are forfeited.

"Guest Workers" can apply to become a citizen only after 6 years in the program provided they have not commited any offense.

"Guest Workers" are not entitled to receive ANY social services.

All companies that wish to hire "guest workers" must apply to hire a "guest worker" and present proof that they have been unable to fill the position with an American citizen.

All companies that hire ILLEGAL aliens are fined 10 Million dollars.

Landlords who do business with ILLEGAL aliens are fined 10 million dollars.

"Sandoval said... "This guy (Tancredo) is off the wall. He was one of the 'House crazies' when he served in the legislature."

Tancredo doesn't sound "off the wall" or crazy to me. I'll bet he's getting more supporters.

[stopem]

Tancredo's on the right track. I heard recently that since Castro is in bad health the U.S. is worried about an influx of cubans that would come into this country illegally.
Great, now the cubans.

"Illegal immigrants would be barred from receiving many state services under an amendment to the Colorado Constitution proposed by Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo. "

As I read this article Tancredo is ANTI-illegals. What am I missing from all the anti-Tancredo posts?

[Colorado Buckeye]

This is an excellent idea and I look forward to signing the petition to get it on the ballot. A lot of people in Colorado are keenly aware of what has happened in California and don't want the same to happen here. Three cheers for Mr. Tancredo!

[chatham]

Tancredo is the Hero of the Day.
Bush is treating the Illegal Aliens like criminal lawyers treat all criminals, by agreeing to a plea deal, "sign up as a worker and we wil give you citizenship not prison".

[Dante3]

Illegals should not be allowed into any schools -- they should not even be in this country, much less gets perks not available to legal immigrants and US citizens who are forced to pay for them.

House Democrats criticize security efforts
01/16/04

A group of House Democrats blasted the Bush administration's homeland security efforts Friday, saying that almost two-and-a-half years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, security gaps leave the United States vulnerable to terrorists.

"It will be absolutely divisive," Sandoval said. "This guy (Tancredo) is off the wall. He was one of the 'House crazies' when he served in the legislature. It's starting to show up again."

Yeah, and Sandoval's statement ISN'T devisive?

[Missouri]

Ping and bump.

"This guy (Tancredo) is off the wall. He was one of the 'House crazies' when he served in the legislature. It's starting to show up again."

Mr. Sandoval considers anyone who doesn't want to support illegal aliens crazy? Sorry, Sandoval, it's just the opposite.

The outspoken anti-immigration advocate wants to block illegal immigrants from nonemergency services such as in-state college tuition and health care, according to a plan filed this week with the Colorado Secretary of State.

That is fine as far as it goes. Few would deny anyone any needed emergency medical care. But if the undocumented immigrants suddenly become legalized through some sort of program or law, then we'll see if the Rulez Uber Alles crowd continues to tout the rule of law or not.

[junta]

I wonder what Sandoval's background is, I'll bet the word Aztlan appears in the description.
