In Mortal Danger, by Rep. Tom Tancredo (R, CO): on Corporations


Strong immigration stance costs PAC and corporate support

I get little or no support from business political-action committees, largely because many businesses and corporations depend on cheap illegal-immigrant labor to hold down their costs and increase their profits, thus denying better paying jobs to American workers. In fact, one corporation in my district, First Data Corporation, even formed a PAC to ensure my defeat, telling a county commissioner that if I didn’t “shut up on the immigration issue,” they might move the company out of the country. Ironically, First Data owns Western Union, a company that makes millions of dollars from facilitating the transfer of funds from foreign nationals living in the US to families back home.
