TANCREDO INTRODUCES ‘OVERDUE’ IMMIGRATION BILL

Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-Col.) unveiled on July 11 the Optimizing Visa Entry Rules and Demanding Uniformed Enforcement (OVERDUE) Immigration Bill.

The bill “prioritizes nuclear family admissions, tightens the investor immigrant criteria, and tightens the employment-based green card category,” according to a news release.

The bill would grant automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the United States only if at least one parent is a citizen or lawful permanent resident. it would also authorize state and local law enforcement officers to enforce immigration laws.
