Tancredo: Bailout bill should not help illegal immigrants
Rep. Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Republican famous for his fight against illegal immigration, urged Congressional leaders this week to include safeguards in any financial bailout plan to ensure it does not help illegal immigrants.
He said the bill needs to include provisions to “verify the legal residency and identity of potential homebuyers to ensure that illegal aliens are not obtaining federally backed home loans - and that taxpayers are not absorbing the debts of illegal aliens, or bad loans made by banks to illegal aliens.”
“If such protections are not included in the package, I hope you will join me in opposing its passage,” he said, in a letter.
