"They charged a fee?"

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.
What value indeedd?
What America would do without a Tom Tancredo to do the entire job the entire congress should be doing (along with our president, of course)would amount to a gutless surrender.
Tancredo truly demonstrates that he is a patriot and would make an excellent President Tancredo.
I am so thankfull for Tancredo. It will be interesting to see who votes for and against this bill. For the life of me, I cannot see how any patriotic American citizen could not wholeheartedly support this bill.
As a US citizen, Can I claim to be disenfranchised when illegals vote?
FREEPER ACTIVISM If the bonding agents for tax-exempt municipal transportation and highways, municipal school bonding, utilities bond issues, and the like, are ignoring illgal activities, the SEC should be advised of your concerns. EMAIL enforcement@SEC.gov.
FREEPER ACTIVISM Most bonding agents conducting municipal business are registered broker-dealers and members of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). NASD and SIPC should also be contacted regarding your concerns about illegal activity.
FREEPER ACTIVISM Banks doing business with municipalities that are conducting illegal activity are jeopardizing bank patrons, shareholders, and depositors and should be reported as follows:
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is the primary federal regulator for national banks. The OCC's Customer Assistance Group is available to assist customers with questions or complaints concerning national banks. Email to Customer.Assistance@occ.treas.gov.
General information about the Customer Assistance Group is available on their web site: http://www.occ.treas.gov/customer.htm. You can reach one of the OCC Customer Assistance Specialists by calling toll free number, 1-800-613-6743, Monday-Thursday, 9-4, and Friday 9-3.
FREEPER ACTIVISM: If illegal aliens using fraudulent documents voted on tax-issues for American investors, that would jeopardize the investment interests of tax-exempt bondholders. This should be reported to the SEC. EMAIL enforcement@SEC.gov
FREEPER ACTIVISM: And of course misuse of tax-exempt government funds is government fraud, and also constitutes tax fraud. Report tax-fraud anonymously toll free: 1-800-829-0433
FREEPER ACTIVISM In many cases, employers may have to obtain bonding insurance to obtain government contracts, and may have filed falsified bonding applications.

Muchos gracias, senorita Liz.
The quiet FACT NOBODY wants to face... for 2006..
and 2008 especially..
Go Tom!
I looked up the word abetting in the dictionary, and it means, "support and/or helping in any way".
My question is.....are Churches and charities in tax exempt peril for helping and/or tending to the health and educational needs of illegals?
BTW, in the state of Alabama, I am asked to show a photo form of identification when I vote.
Wow
Liz Great post
Thank you......so glad you liked it.
They're just casting the votes Americans won't cast. Someone needs to come up with a "compromise" on the issue. In this compromise, they still get to vote, but now we call them guest voters and they have to take a quick trip to Mexico first.
When the heads of the Republican Party refused to come to the aid of "B-1 Bob"
Dornan when he lost his House seat thanks to a couple hundred ILLEGALS voting...
The Republican Party made a very, very big mistake.
More likely, when an exchange of money is made, the crime would occur:
(1) those who transport illegals acrosds the border for a fee;
(2) employers who hire illegals for below established wages.
We should all get on the bandwagon and support Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO), chairman of the Immigration Reform Caucus and the bill he introduced 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 Tancredo.
LOL----cute.
"Will mow lawns for bananas."
Hell, I was there. After Bob's loss, I was one of the interviewers who convinced some very contrite illegals to sign AFFIDAVITS ADMITTING TO ILLEGALLY VOTING. IIRC, there were over 500 signed affidavits. However, it is important to note that the number of PHANTOM VOTERS (imaginary people who cast absentee ballots) FAR OUTNUMBERED THE ILLEGAL ALIEN VOTERS. I believe and have documented proof that over 30% of the registered voters in some of Bob's precincts were non-existent phantoms. Fellow Freepers, it is hard to grasp the enormity of vote fraud until you see it up close! Nationwide, vote fraud probably accounts for about 5-10% of total votes cast. This is why polls showing Republicans winning are often off by 5% or so on election day.
Thanks for the amplification. It's been a while since I heard Dornan
(understandably) vent about the electoral theft; thanks for adding the
details.
It was a dark day for The Republic and not talked about nearly enough.
