Tancredo almost single-handedly fighting illegal alien voter fraud

...and they have to take a quick trip to Mexico first.

The USA picks up ALL costs of the trip, thanks to the generous legislature.

There is said to be about a million illegal alien voters in one state alone (New Jersey).

How do they do it?

In one case, the legislature financed an "Inmate Life Skills Program" to the tune of $18 million. The purpose of the program was not to give inmates "life skills" but to finance illegal voting---organizing and paying paroled inmates and street people to vote in precinct after precinct, using lists of dead or fictitiously registered voters.

This was enormously successful in getting fraudulent votes since in another case, a high government job was given to a Latino who owns a travel agency and who helps illegal aliens get documented----and get this----they transferred his job to the county jail.

And to think that in Mexico, a nonLatino can't vote even if one's been down there legally for decades...unless one renounces one's gringo citizenship AND gets Mexican citizenship (which is far harder to obtain than US citizenship).

Did you know that you can sue and get mega-bucks for immigration law abuses? In case you're not that familiar with RICO, perhaps now's a good time to give you a basic orientation about the racketeering laws with which your creative and energetic mind may do as you wish. A popular definition is as follows:

"Racketeering" = "a pattern of illegal activity (as extortion and murder) that is carried out in furtherance of an enterprise (as a criminal syndicate) which is owned or controlled by those engaged in such activity (see also Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act).

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act is otherwise known as RICO (apparently pronounced ree-koh more often than it's pronounced RIE-COH, for whatever indiscernible reason.). Meanwhile, a "pattern" can involve as few as merely two misdeeds. It helps if an ongoing threat still exists, legally speaking.

Anyhow, RICO enables victims to get financial indemnification as a result of ALL SORTS of activities, ******as well as TRIPLE damages and attorneys fees.

To find the list of RICO acts (also known as "predicate acts"), one can go to:

http://uscode.house.gov/search/criteria.shtml

and look for: 18 USC Sec. 1961. So at that link, the "18" goes in the "Title" box, and the 1961 goes in the "Section" box. That's quite a refreshingly comprehensive list, isn't it? You see, the government can't fight crime all on its own. The laws exist to incentivize "private prosecutors". I used to prosecute years ago (and won every case) and although I don't want to return to the government, I haven't lost my zeal to fight crime especially when it's profitable (which RICO potentially makes it).

Now then 18 U.S.C. 1964(c) says the following:

TITLE 18 - Sec. 1964. Civil remedies

(c) Any person injured in his business or property by reason of a violation of section 1962 of this chapter may sue therefor in an appropriate United States district court and shall recover threefold the damages he sustains and the cost of the suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee.

Threefold's pretty impressive, huh?

In moving along, the substantive provisions of Section 1962 define the elements of a cause of action which must be assessed in connection with the definition of the terms in Section 1961 (mentioned above).

Here's an example of what a RICO complaint looks like:

It costs about $350 to file in federal court.

Somebody needs to collect these stories and write a book. I would contribute...and I have documented proof of vote fraud.

[Kellis91789]

It doesn't go far enough. And the RealID Act also takes the wrong approach by trying to include a bunch or personal data in a chip on the ID.

In this age of technology, it is ridiculous to rely on a document in someone's hands. Voting should require a biometric verification against a database of voters that had to show proof of citizenship and give their thumbprint when they registered.

All existing driver's licenses should be phased out and require the same citizenship verification before being re-issued as an RFID card that broadcasts just the DL# without any personal info. When a vehicle passes an emitter and gets no response back from a valid RFID, the police can be notified and the vehicle pulled over. Visitors to the country can be issued RFID licenses and their database record will expire when their visa runs out.

N-i-c-e, very nice, take. Thanks for posting.

Needs to be a separate "Freeper activism" thread.

[Liz]

Timing is good for that. Regnery might be interested.

[Shuttle Shucker]

Please feel free to create such a Freeper activism thread (which I don't know too much about doing), and also feel free to claim the contents as your own :-) You're welcome to ping me if you like from it, too, as I've done RICO litigation before. I've always been impressed with your work too, Liz.

[Liz]

Many thanks for the affirmation-----will proceed as you suggested.

[LadyPilgrim]

Thanks, Liz.

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.

Go Tom!!! Even though I dodn't get the honor of voting for him, I feel he is the only one in Congress representing me and my beliefs. (Ok, there may be a couple of others as well - but none from my state!)

[CottonBall]

Thanks for the walk back to reality. It is amazing how far we have fallen.

I would dearly love to see these laws start to be enforeced again!

[Niuhuru]

I'll happily vote for him if he runs for President.
