'Every family of illegal immigrants costs Americans 20,000 dollars a year in infrastructure costs.'

Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo has represented Colorado in the US House of Representatives since 1999. He is pro-life, pro-gun and has been known to show up at events on his Harley. He is web-savvy and spends airport time sending tidbits such as the following to his supporters: 'The next day, I joined bikers from across Iowa at the ABATE conference. Next to these bikers, I may have looked out of place, but I felt right at home as we talked about helmet laws, jobs, healthcare and illegal aliens. I then got to ride the new 2007 Harley Davidson Fatboy. Now, I have a Harley back home but this bike was much bigger, and I was actually worried about rolling it. Turned out to be a great time!' He is against bi-lingual education and favors walling up the border between the US and Mexico.

Sun in Sagittarius tells us he is independent and freedom-loving. He enjoys taking risks, exploring new worlds and following the untried path. Often very restless, he needs to meet new people and travel. He may go from project to project because once the challenge is gone, he wants to move on. An eternal optimist, he has big dreams and is usually pursuing a distant goal. Failures don't crush his spirit. He has a sporting attitude toward life and is philosophical about his mistakes. He can see the big picture and likes to theorize. Dealing with all of the practical requirements of implementing his theories, however, is of less interest.

He expresses himself in a very open and straightforward way and can sometimes be tactless. Because he doesn't take himself too seriously, he may not realize how deeply his candid remarks can wound more sensitive souls. He does not do well with a possessive or emotionally demanding partner. Someone who shares his ideals, his sense of fun and his zest for life is the right companion for him. He and his wife Jackie were married in 1977. They have two children and five grandchildren.

His Moon in Cancer reveals he responds to the emotional tone and atmosphere around him, and can be dominated by his fluctuating and unpredictable moods. Anyone who lives with him must accept his ups and downs and appreciate his need for solitude. He is very sympathetic and understands other peoples' unspoken feelings and needs. Moon square Jupiter tells us he has a cheerful disposition and reaches out to others in an open, friendly way. His emotional generosity and lack of pettiness is well known among his friends and people often seek him out for sympathy or advice. However, Moon conjunct Saturn causes him to be emotionally reserved and cautious about letting others get close to him.

A Pisces rising reveals he is highly sensitive and has a deep understanding of other people. He needs peaceful surroundings in order to flourish and periods of quiet seclusion are essential for his emotional balance and well-being. He is very compassionate and cannot tolerate seeing any creature suffer. As a child he probably got upset when others were hurt. Because he is very giving and forgiving, people in need gravitate to him, sensing his sympathetic nature.

Sun square Pisces shows he has a strong desire to be recognized, to be acknowledged and to have a significant influence on the people around him. He may do remarkable things in order to be noticed. However, he often doesn't get the full recognition he desires. Mars trine Pisces ensures he is direct and to the point. His ascendant opposite MC/N. Node shows he tends to lead a very harmonious life and he bases his relationships on inner understanding between people.
