Tancredo Wants to Turn medical Providers into Border Guards
As one of four co-sponsors of the Illegal Immigrant Health Reform Act, Tom attempted to turn medical providers into border agents, requiring them to collect and forward information about their patients to the Department of Home Land Security or else loose federal funding. The bill was soundly defeated in the US House by a vote of 331-88.

Continuing on his anti-immigrant crusade, Tom turned his focus on one of the most successful businesses in the 6th Congressional District and the global economy. In an attempt to punish hard working immigrants and anyone else who uses wire transfers, Tom proposed levying a tax on all overseas wire transfers. As usual, Tom spoke before thinking; the largest provider of overseas wire transfers is First Data Corp, which just happens to be in the 6th Congressional District.
