December 08, 2005"Tancredo"... what is that, Italian?To: The Honerous Tom Tancredo 08 December 2005 Dear Mr. Tancredo, I just wanted to write and say "heil" ... I mean "hello!" I was reading in today's Denver Post about a provision that you and other House Republicans will present in Congress next week that would deny citizenship to babies born in the United States to parents who are undocumented immigrants.
Oh sure, there are those "lefties" who will go on about how your proposal violates the our Constitution's 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868 to grant citizenship to, and protect the civil liberties of, recently freed slaves. (And who said that was a good idea, right?) They'll probably quote that part about "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States". Blah, blah, blah... am I right? What they don't understand is how these wetbacks are abusing our system! You explained it so well: "People are coming here simply for the purpose of having a child here and then, because they're the anchor, they can have all the family come in on that child's ticket." Man, what a scam! A baby born in America is automatically a U.S. citizen, and then this "anchor baby" can apply to bring other family members here from overseas. Whoa, and pretty soon our entire country is crawling with them, right? I mean... what you didn't mention is that these babies can't actually make the application to bring over family members until they're reached the age of eighteen, but that just proves how tricky these people are, right? The parents plant their babies here... wait a mere eighteen years... and boom!... they're U.S. citizens. Sneaky bastards. But hey, I was thinking, why stop at denying citizenship to babies born of immigrants? If we also keep the babies of poor people from becoming citizens, we could wipe out poverty in America. And if we withhold citizenship from babies of colored people we could completely do away with the races.. I mean, racism... in the United States. I realize that there are people who say that Tom Tancredo is a redneck, racist, bigoted, skinhead, xenophobic, neo-nazi-wannabe. Like that's a bad thing, right? But I say: more (white) power to you! After all someone has to take a stand and tell every pregnant Maria who hopes to have her baby in the promised land: "There is no room at the inn!" Oh by the way... Merry Christmas to you and your family. Sincerely, A Secret Admirer PS: Don't worry about what your detractors say. You're about as racist as I am sarcastic.

Hey Rog! Yeah... I finally hit my limit with this guy. It's one thing for a fringe politician to spew racist rants "in defense of the homeland", but when the media start putting this guy front and center in the immigration debate... well, it's too much. Tancredo is the son of Italian immigrants, but I guess now that he and his are "in" the idea is to shut the door to others looking to build a better life for themselves and their families. But you, better than most anyone else, know the difficulties that immigrants face! (For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting Roger, he does excellent work at a immigrant outreach center in Washington State called Tierra Nueva. Check out their homepage: www.tierra-nueva.org) Rob, Can we pplease have that address,,,, Posted by: Dad at December 9, 2005 11:42 AMHey Dad, My work address here in Guatemala is: Roberto Mercatante The info is also on the Contact page (link on the left). Love, I like the subliminal message of the pic! Posted by: ale at December 9, 2005 07:14 PMI'm sure that I have no idea what you're referring to. (Hehe... But thanks!)

Bravo! As you so rightly griped, the fact that illegals are having babies right here in the good ol' USA "cheapens the whole concept of citizenship."
