Dear Congressman Tom Tancredo,
Since we now live in a country of pick and choose laws I was wondering if Congressman Tancredo could assist me in my choice. President Bush has chosen to ignore our laws and his oath of office, particularly that pesky little part about defending borders, but who needs that nonsense. I hereby choose to withdraw my unconstitutional obligation to pay into the IRS tax system. If Congressman Tancredo could assist me I would love to have this paperwork done before the April deadline.

Harmful Anti-Immigrant Provisions in H.R. 418

Sections 101, 103 and 104—Unfair Barriers to Asylum Protection
Section 101 would impose unfair barriers to refugee protection. For example, asylum seekers would have to prove that a “central reason” their persecutors have for harming them is because of their race, nationality religion, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, e.g., a union or student group. A child seeking asylum, who would have a hard time understanding or meeting such a requirement, could be denied asylum. Asylum seekers whose persecutors have mixed motives could be denied, e.g., a woman raped by a government soldier who acts both out of personal hatred for her and to carry out his army’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Section 101 would also require asylum seekers to supply corroborative evidence about what they suffered, something particularly difficult for children or for anyone isolated in immigration detention where 80 percent are not represented. Asylum seekers could be denied asylum based on inconsistencies in what they tell different officials, their demeanor as they speak or the extent to which the Department of State Country Reports corroborate their persecution. Mental health professionals who work with victims of torture insist that demeanor simply is not an accurate judge of a torture victim’s credibility. These provisions would likely hurt the most vulnerable. For example, a woman who fled rape by a uniformed soldier in her country might show visible discomfort in the presence of a uniformed DHS border guard, which would make her vulnerable to denial. Her post-traumatic stress could easily give her an evasive demeanor and emotionless presentation as she related her trauma. If she was persecuted in a remote part of her country, if the country is especially repressive or if political persecution is recent, documentation of persecution will be extremely difficult to attain. The bill would virtually eliminate federal court review of denial of asylum based on lack of corroborative evidence.

Sections 103 and 104 allow victims of terrorist or militant groups to be deported or barred from receiving asylum based on overly broad definitions of what constitutes engaging in terrorism. Some people who come to the United States seeking asylum are doing so because they were forced at gunpoint to pay money to a terrorist organization or may have given money to a school or hospital without knowing the ties to a terrorist organization. Under the REAL ID Act, these innocent people would be barred from asylum for the same reason they are seeking it.

Take, for example, the plight of Colombians who have been forced to make payments to groups like the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN), all of which are on the U.S. terrorist organization list. These groups pervade nearly all aspects of Colombian life, and payments to these groups under severe duress, which often include threats of harm, torture or death to oneself or a loved one, are a survival mechanism for most Colombians. The Colombian government is unable to control these groups in many regions of Colombia and thus, Colombian citizens are too often at their mercy. The United Nations estimates that at least 70 percent of Colombian refugees referred to the United States for resettlement had been forced by the FARC or other similar entity to pay “taxes” or other type of coerced payment, including a ransom for a kidnapped loved one. Under current law, someone in this situation could be barred. Under the REAL ID Act, not only would they be barred with no consideration as to whether their acts actually supported terrorist activity, but their children and spouse would also be barred from receiving asylum and could be deported for the involuntary acts of a family member.

Sections 202–206—Unfair Driver’s License Provisions
Sections 202 through 206 would establish extensive federal control over state issuance of driver’s licenses and state identification cards. If someone is undocumented or has overstayed a visa, the person could not get a license or identification card under this system. It would undermine the states’ efforts to create a driver’s license system that assures that all drivers are certified to drive, are insured and are carrying valid licenses. This would drive undocumented people further into the shadows and undermine rather than improve security.
