( WASHINGTON, DC ) – U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) introduced legislation today that would effectively move the United Nations headquarters out of the United States. The legislation is being introduced amid incessant anti-American and anti-Jewish political grandstanding from the podium of the General Assembly.
“The U.N. has coddled brutal dictators, anti-Semites, state sponsors of terrorism, and nuclear proliferators – while excluding democratic countries from membership and turning a blind eye to humanitarian tragedies and gross violations of human rights around the globe,” Tancredo said. “The U.N.’s continued presence in the United States is an embarrassment to our nation, and the time has come for this ineffective organization to pack its bags and hit the road.”
The United Nations is hosting dictators from around the world this week, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s brutal dictator. His speech has drawn thousands of protestors in New York City.
Tancredo’s bill, dubbed the U.N. Eviction Act, would direct Attorney General Michael Mukasey to initiate condemnation proceedings against all United Nations properties within the United States, and sell the property to the highest bidder on the open market. The proceeds will be given to the Treasury Department to pay down the national debt. The bill would also bar the future purchase of property in the United States or U.S. territories by the U.N. or any of its agencies, and revokes the diplomatic privileges and immunities that U.N. officials and representatives currently enjoy.
“I refuse to sit idly by while Americans are forced to host Islamofascist dictators, like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, so they can spew anti-American rhetoric just blocks from Ground Zero,” Tancredo continued.

I agree they should be kicked out, but what Democratic country has not been allowed into the U.N.?
This guy is a Patriot... no doubt.

Not that this has a chance of succeeding, but I applaud him for trying. I’d for one would be there doing my best to throw them out.
Its about time!!! Send them to Dubai.
Well this guy has balls and big ones!
I TOTALLY AGREE!! Get the UN out of the US and the US out of the UN!
Heck, I'd even give them money to move to Haiti.
Thank you Cong. Tancredo!
Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., introduced a bill to the House of Representatives that seeks to prevent Islamic law from gaining a foothold in the U.S. legal system, as it has in other countries.
Tancredo introduced HR 6975, the Jihad Prevention Act, last week. If made into law, the bill would allow American authorities to prevent advocates of Islamic law, or Shariah, from entering the country, revoke the visa of any foreigners that champion it and revoke naturalization for citizens that seek to implement it in the U.S.
The radical form of Shariah includes several statutes objectionable to Western minds, including stoning for adulterous women, amputation for thieves and the death sentence for converting from Islam.
"When you have an immigration policy that allows for the importation of millions of radical Muslims," Tancredo said in a statement, "you are also importing their radical ideology – an ideology that is fundamentally hostile to the foundations of Western democracy – such as gender equality, pluralism and individual liberty.
"The best way to safeguard America against the importation of the destructive effects of this poisonous ideology is to prevent its purveyors from coming here in the first place," Tancredo said.
As WND reported, large Muslim populations in Canada seeking to live out their faith have convinced the Canadian government to permit the enforcement of Shariah.
The journal of the American Bar Association reported last week that Islamic court rulings are now enforceable in the United Kingdom as well.
Tancredo said he "moved quickly" to prevent similar legal entanglements in the U.S.
"We need to send a clear message that the only law we recognize here in America is the U.S. Constitution and the laws passed by our democratically elected representatives," he concluded. "If you aren't comfortable with that concept, you aren't welcome in the United States."
WND contacted the Council on American-Islamic Relations for comment on the bill but received none.
HR 6975 has been referred to the House Committee on Judiciary for review.
This is one bill I want to pass. Let's all keep heads up on this.
Trancredo is for our country and it seems he is all by hinself.
No, send them to Cuba...or some other third world country.
I think the ONLY reason we have a UN is so there is someplace to funnel disputes in the world community.
Does anything get done at the UN? No
Do the rob most of the money at the UN? IMO Yes
Do dictators, theocracies, socialists, communists who don't like us represent 95% of the UN? Yes
Could there be a better system in the future? ??????????
Is this a functional place beyond filing grievances? No
Thanks you Tancredo.
God Bless you sir!! I would call my Congress peoples incessantly.....
Can we make it happen ASAP?? I could just hear the Libs crying....HAHAHAHAHA People like Sean Penn would probably chain themselves to the building. Rev up the BullDozers....Rachel Corrie anyone?? ONe warning and the whole place then that’s it.
I was thinking more along the lines of Saudi Arabia or Iran. I'd like to see them hosting the Israeli and Vatican delegations.
May I suggest Iran, Pakistan, or Afghanistan.
