Does Tom Tancredo have an excellent idea? He wants DNA tests on immigrants?

Question

WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo wants foreigners seeking visas to join relatives in the U.S. to provide DNA samples to prove their family ties.

The Colorado congressman introduced a bill Tuesday in the House to require the tests, saying documents provided by immigrants to show they are related to U.S. citizens or permanent residents are sometimes sketchy and unreliable.

''This will help protect the integrity of our immigration system,'' said Tancredo, who has based his presidential campaign on curbing immigration. ``It will give us one more tool to make sure that the beneficiaries of these visas are who they say they are.''

Immigrants would pay for the DNA costs through visa application fees under the proposal.

Earlier this month, France's Senate passed an immigration bill that would allow consular officers to request DNA samples from immigrants wanting to join families there.

The U.S. allows spouses, children, parents and siblings of U.S. citizens and spouses and children of permanent residents to apply for visas and green cards to join their relatives in the United States. http://www.miamiherald.com/campaign08/story/273835.html
Medical testing was good enough for our grandparents and great grandparents, it should be a priority with those sneaking in and caught. No one mentions the diseases that are coming in from other countries and the multitudes filling our emergency rooms that we’re paying for. Next, we can discuss how many terrorists have also walked across our borders and are here awaiting orders.

Answer 1

I am a big supporter of Tancredo. While I don't think he has a chance at winning the presidency, I do think he is the only candidate that has taken the hard line and actually come up with great ideas to stop illegal immigration.

If someone claims that they truly have relatives in the US, then they should have nothing to hide and should have no problem submitting DNA for proof. It's not that much different from the iris scans and fingerprints that they implemented a few years ago for all visitors to the US. Once the program gets up and running, the costs will be minimal.

Plus the thing I like about Tancredo is that he is not against people coming to the US - as long as they do it LEGALLY!

properly.....initially the vote became constrained to White Male landowners, as a consequence giving us an smart, pronounced knowledgeable electorate. the belief of letting an uneducated uninformed guy or woman vote for whichever guy gave them the main unfastened handouts became seen a nasty theory in 1790; via 2008 it became elementary place because of the fact anybody with a pulse, became “entitled” to attain this, regardless of their skill to forged an pronounced, knowledgeable vote. maximum human beings are clueless approximately politics and may well be required to a minimum of be attentive to what they're doing beforehand they vote for the guy handing out lollypops and F##ok issues up for something human beings!!
