Immigration LAW 1907. TITLE 8, U.S.C. 1324

[The Original Tree]

according to all of your right wing arguments, you all have nothing but appeals to ignorance of the law.

Yes Broken Record, Err.....Russian Bot. This thread is about The Law. Comment on Immigration Law, quit repeating yourself over and over again. The next time, I will report you for trolling.

 

[The Original Tree]

Again, Broken record, and Empty Head.

There is no fantasy. This is a discussion board. A discussion over facts, and Immigration Law that you claim does not exist. The burden of proof is on you to prove that The United States Congress does not have the right to create The Immigration Law they Legislated, and passed in to law.

I and others have posted actual existent immigration law on the books and enforceable by The Federal Government.

You claim that Immigration Law does not exist, and that The United States as a Sovereign Nation has no right to create Immigration Legislation.

You claim that The United States Congress has no power to Legislate over Immigration and Naturalization and Citizenship.

I am not the one appealing to ignorance of our Ninth and Tenth Amendments.

Those are just words, feelings and opinion.

You are unable to prove your assertion that Congress does not have the right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

Please Prove that Immigration Law does not exist, and that Congress does not have a right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

{...
Amendment 9
- Other Rights Kept by the People

The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment 10
- Undelegated Powers Kept by the States and the People

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
...}

The whole point of the Bill of Rights was to constrain the federal government.
The states did not want the federal government assuming any additional powers, so they insisted the Bill of Rights say that the feds only had what authority it was explicitly delegated in the Constitution.
But no where in the Constitution is there any authority over immigration delegated to the federal government.

I hate to tell you this, but it is The Constitution which gives Jurisdiction of the US Federal Government and Congress to Legislate Immigration Law, and to allow The Federal Government to enforce it.

Not sure what Law School you went to, maybe in The Virgin Islands, but you should send your degree back.

You completely don't understand The Constitution which is called "The Framework" of our Nation's Rights, Privileges, and Law, as a basic set of principles, and then Congress Legislates based on those principle and expounds upon them.

Immigration Law on the Books currently is Constitutional and have passed the test.

US Code is created by Legislative Actions, which is a Constitutional Process by which Bills are Introduced and become Law.

You also ignored other parts of The Constitution addressing Citizenship & Naturalization. Particluarly the 14th amendment which confirms already existent jurisdiction over non citizens of legal status in THE US. That was passed in 1870 by through Republican Efforts to address Democrat Plantation Owners still holding slaves, and The Democrat South's Denial of Civil Rights to Freed Slaves. It gave all the offspring of Freed Slaves (they had legal status in The US) Citizenship.

Do you bother reading at all? Did you ignore the Title of The Thread?


Immigration LAW 1907. TITLE 8, U.S.C. 1324


This is just one law out of many that regulate immigration.

In 2010 Congress tried to pass Obama's Dream Act. It failed to pass. Never became Law. The Dems have tried to pass it several times. Obama then signed DACA to delay enforcement of current immigration law. DACA is not law, and the only reason it has not expired is because of battles in court, but ultimately those all will be lost, because it's just an EO.

Here are a few of our Immigration Laws, passed by Congress over the years:

1790 Naturalization Act of 1790 Established the rules for naturalized citizenship, as per Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, but placed no restrictions on immigration. Citizenship was limited to white persons, with no other restriction on non-whites. Note: this is a restriction on naturalization (voting and office-holding), not on immigration.

1795 Naturalization Act of 1795 Lengthened required residency to become citizen. Again, this is a restriction on naturalization, not on immigration.

1798 Naturalization Act(officially An Act to Establish a Uniform Rule of Naturalization; ch. 54, 1 Stat. 566)

Alien Friends Act(officially An Act Concerning Aliens; ch. 58, 1 Stat. 570)

Alien Enemies Act(officially An Act Respecting Alien Enemies; ch. 66, 1 Stat. 577)

• 
  
  
  • Extended the duration of residence required for immigrants to become citizens to 14 years. Enacted June 18, 1798, with no expiration date, it was repealed in 1802.
  • Authorized the president to deport any resident immigrant considered "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States." It was activated June 25, 1798, with a two-year expiration date.
  • Authorized the president to apprehend and deport resident aliens if their home countries were at war with the United States of America. Enacted July 6, 1798, and providing no sunset provision, the act remains intact today as 50 U.S.C. § 21

1802 Naturalization Law of 1802

• 
  
  
  • Repealed the 14-year residency requirement of Naturalization Act of 1798.

1870 Naturalization Act of 1870

• 
  
  
  • Extended the naturalization process to "aliens of African nativity and to persons of African descent."
  • Other non-whites were not included in this act and remained excluded from naturalization, per the Naturalization Act of 1790

1875 Page Act of 1875 (Sect. 141, 18 Stat. 477, 1873-March 1875)

• 
  
  
  • The first federal immigration law and prohibited the entry of immigrants considered as "undesirable"
  • The law classified as "undesirable" any individual from Asia who was coming to America to be a contract laborer
  • Strengthen the ban against "coolie" laborers, by imposing a fine of up to $2,000 and maximum jail sentence of one year upon anyone who tried to bring a person from China, Japan, or any oriental country to the United States "without their free and voluntary consent, for the purpose of holding them to a term of service"

1882 Chinese Exclusion Act

• 
  
  
  • Restricted immigration of Chinese laborers for 10 years.
  • Prohibited Chinese naturalization.
  • Provided deportation procedures for illegal Chinese.
  • Marked the birth of illegal immigration (in America).[1]
  • The Act was "a response to racism [in America] and to anxiety about threats from cheap labor [from China]." [2]

1882 Immigration Act of 1882

• 
  
  
  • Imposed a 50 cent head tax to fund immigration officials.

1885 Alien Contract Labor Law (Sess. II Chap. 164; 23 Stat. 332) Prohibited the importation and migration of foreigners and aliens under contract or agreement to perform labor in the United States

1891 Immigration Act of 1891

• 
  
  
  • First comprehensive immigration laws for the US.
  • Bureau of Immigration set up in the Treasury Dept.[3]
  • Immigration Bureau directed to deport unlawful aliens.
  • Empowered "the superintendent of immigration to enforce immigration laws".[4]

1892 Geary Act Extended and strengthened the Chinese Exclusion Act.

1898 United States v. Wong Kim Ark[5] The Supreme Court ruled that a child of Chinese descent born in the United States - whose parents at the time of his birth are subjects of the Emperor of China but who are domiciled in the United States as permanent residents; are carrying on business there; and are not employed in any diplomatic or other official capacity under the Emperor of China - is a citizen of the United States by virtue of having been born "in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof," per the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Several years later, in the wake of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire, a number of Chinese immigrants who were otherwise subject to the Chinese Exclusion Act were nonetheless able to claim American citizenship by alleging they were born in San Francisco, and that their birth certificates had been destroyed along with those of everyone else who had been born in San Francisco. "Papers for fictitious children were sold in China, allowing Chinese to immigrate despite the laws." [1]

1903 Immigration Act of 1903(Anarchist Exclusion Act) Added four inadmissible classes: anarchists, people with epilepsy, beggars, and importers of prostitutes

1906 Naturalization Act of 1906

• 
  
  
  • Standardized naturalization procedures
  • Made some knowledge of English a requirement for citizenship
  • Established the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization

1907 Immigration Act of 1907 Restricted immigration for certain classes of disabled and diseased people

1917 Immigration Act of 1917(Barred Zone Act) Restricted immigration from Asia by creating an "Asiatic Barred Zone" and introduced a reading test for all immigrants over sixteen years of age, with certain exceptions for children, wives, and elderly family members.

1918 Immigration Act of 1918 Expanded on the provisions of the Anarchist Exclusion Act.

1921 Emergency Quota Act

• 
  
  
  • Limited the number of immigrants a year from any country to 3% of those already in the US from that country as per the 1910 census.

"An unintended consequence of the 1920s legislation was an increase in illegal immigration. Many Europeans who did not fall under the quotas migrated to Canada or Mexico, which [as Western Hemisphere nations] were not subject to national-origin quotas; [and] subsequently they slipped into the United States illegally." [6]

1922 The Cable Act of 1922(ch. 411, 42 Stat. 1021, "Married Women’s Independent Nationality Act") Reversed former immigration laws regarding marriage, also known as the Married Women's Citizenship Act or the Women's Citizenship Act. Previously, a woman lost her US citizenship if she married a foreign man, since she assumed the citizenship of her husband, a law that did not apply to men who married foreign women. The law repealed sections 3 and 4 of the Expatriation Act of 1907.

1924 Immigration Act(Johnson-Reed Act)

• 
  
  
  • Imposed first permanent numerical limit on immigration.
  • Began a national-origin quota system.

1924 National Origins Formula

• 
  
  
  • Established with the Immigration Act of 1924.
  • Total annual immigration was capped at 150,000. Immigrants fit into two categories: those from quota-nations and those from non-quota nations.
  • Immigrant visas from quota-nations were restricted to the same ratio of residents from the country of origin out of 150,000 as the ratio of foreign-born nationals in the United States. The percentage out of 150,000 was the relative number of visas a particular nation received.
  • Non-quota nations, notably those contiguous to the United States only had to prove an immigrant's residence in that country of origin for at least two years prior to emigration to the United States.
  • Laborers from Asiatic nations were excluded but exceptions existed for professionals, clergy, and students to obtain visas.

1934
Equal Nationality Act of 1934

• 
  
  
  • Allowed foreign-born children of American mothers and alien fathers who had entered America before age 18 and lived in America for five years to apply for American citizenship for the first time.
  • Made the naturalization process quicker for American women's alien husbands.

1930s
Federal officials deported "Tens of thousands, and possibly more than 400,000, Mexicans and Mexican-Americans... Many, mostly children, were U.S. citizens." [7] "Applications for legal admission into the United States increased following World War II — and so did illegal immigration." [8] Some used fraudulent marriages as their method of illegal entry in the U.S. "Japanese immigration became disproportionately female, as more women left Japan as "picture brides", betrothed to emigrant men into the U.S. whom they had never met." [9]

1940 Nationality Act of 1940 Pertains chiefly to "Nationality at Birth," Nationality through Naturalization," and "Loss of Nationality"

1943 Chinese Exclusion Repeal Act of 1943(Magnuson Act) Repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act and permitted Chinese nationals already in the country to become naturalized citizens. A quota of 105 new Chinese immigrants were allowed into America per year.

1952 Immigration and Nationality Act(McCarran-Walter Act)

• 
  
  
  • Set a quota for aliens with skills needed in the US.
  • Increased the power of the government to deport illegal immigrants suspected of Communist sympathies.

1953 Kwong Hai Chew v. Colding, 344 U.S. 590(1953) The Supreme Court found, "The Bill of Rights is a futile authority for the alien seeking admission for the first time to these shores. But while an alien lawfully enters and resides in this country he becomes invested with the rights guaranteed by the Constitution to all people within our borders".
1954 Operation Wetback Immigration and Naturalization Service roundup and deportation of illegal immigrants in selected areas of California, Arizona, and Texas along the border. The U.S. Border Patrol later reported that more than 1.3 million people (a number viewed by many to be inflated and not accurate[citation needed]) were deported or left the U.S. voluntarily under the threat of deportation in 1954.[10]
1965 INA Amendments (Hart-Celler Act)

• 
  
  
  • Repealed the national-origin quotas.
  • Initiated a visa system for family reunification and skills.
  • Set a quota for Western Hemisphere immigration.
  • Set a 20k country limit for Eastern Hemisphere aliens.

1966 Cuban Refugee Adjustment Act Cuban nationals who enter, or were already present in the United States, legal status.

1970s The United States saw a total number of illegal immigrants estimated at 1.1 million, or half of one percent of the United States population.

1980s

• 
  
  
  • About 1.3 million illegal immigrants entered the US.

1982 Plyler v. Doe,[11] 457U.S. 202 (1982) The court also stated that illegal immigrants are "within the jurisdiction" of the states in which they reside and, therefore, are under the equal protection laws of the fourteenth amendment, and stated, "We have never suggested that the class of persons who might avail themselves of the equal protection guarantee is less than coextensive with that entitled to due process. To the contrary, we have recognized [457 U.S. 202, 212] that both provisions were fashioned to protect an identical class of persons, and to reach every exercise of state authority."

1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act

• 
  
  
  • Started sanctions for knowingly hiring illegal aliens.
  • Provided amnesty to illegal aliens already in the US.[12]
  • Increased border enforcement.
  • Made it a crime to hire an illegal immigrant

1990s
Over 5.8 million illegal immigrants entered the US in the 1990s.[13] Mexico rose to the head of the list of sending countries, followed by the Philippines, Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, and China.[14]

1990 Immigration Act

• 
  
  
  • Increased legal immigration ceilings.
  • Created a diversity admissions category.
  • Tripled the number of visas for priority workers and professionals with U.S. job offers[citation needed] [15]

1990 United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez[16] The court reiterated the finding of Kwong Hai Chew v. Colding, 344 U.S. 590, 596 (1953), "The Bill of Rights is a futile authority for the alien seeking admission for the first time to these shores. But while an alien lawfully enters and resides in this country he becomes invested with the rights guaranteed by the Constitution to all people within our borders".
Stated, "those cases in which aliens have been determined to enjoy certain constitutional rights establish only that aliens receive such protections when they have come within the territory of, and have developed substantial connections with, this country. See, e. g., Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202, 212 ."

1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRaIRA)

• 
  
  
  • Phone verification for worker authentication by employers.
  • Access to welfare benefits more difficult for legal aliens.
  • Increased border enforcement.
  • Reed Amendment attempted to deny visas to former U.S. citizens, but was never enforced[17]

1999 Rodriguez v. United States, 169 F.3d 1342, (11th Cir. 1999) Held that statutes which discriminate within the class of aliens comport with the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment (and the equal protection principles it incorporates) so long as they satisfy rational basis scrutiny.
Post 9/11/2001

• 
  
  
  • An estimated 3.1 million immigrants entered the United States illegally between 2000 and 2005.[15]
  • From 1998 to 2001, Mexicans accounted for 68% of immigrants who entered the United States illegally. That percentage jumped to 78% for the years between 2001 and 2005, mostly due to stricter security measures that followed the September 11, 2001 Attacks upon the United States (which more efficiently prevented illegal entry from nations that did not share a land or maritime boundary with the United States).[18]

2002 Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act

• 
  
  
  • Provided for more Border Patrol agents.
  • Requires that schools report foreign students attending classes.
  • Stipulates that foreign nationals in the US will be required to carry IDs with biometric technology.[19]

2002 Homeland Security Act of 2002

• 
  
  
  • Moved all transportation, customs, immigration, and border security agencies to operate under the Department of Homeland Security.
  • Requires agencies to share information and coordinate efforts in relation to national security and border control.
  • Stipulates which agencies are responsible for which duties in relation to immigration and border security.
  • Outlines specific requirements on handling of children in immigration and border issues.

2005 REAL ID Act

  • Severely curtailed habeas corpus relief for immigrants
  • Increased immigration enforcement mechanisms
  • Altered judicial review
  • Established national standards for state driver licenses.
  • Cleared the way for the building of border barriers.

2010 DREAM Act FAILED TO PASS'

2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals(executive action)


Then there is US CODE 1325 the next section after 1324 which we have been discussing here, but no one on The LEFT wants to discuss the actual US CODE, because you people are Lawless.

Except that you are ignoring the definition of what is legal.
Federal legislation is not at all legal unless specifically authorized by the Constitution.
There is absolutely no authorization in the constitution for ANY federal immigration legislation.
So all those federal statutes you listed are totally and completely illegal.

Clearly the federal government has been trying to take over everything.
From the Dred Scott Decision, to Prohibition, to the War on Drugs, etc., but none of it is legal.
Even federal income tax is likely illegal.

If farmers and states want temporary migrant agricultural workers, there is no legal way for the feds to stop it.
This is especially true in the 7 states that used to be part of Mexico, and it is illegal to block movement. by treaty.

So the Civil Rights Act is not Legal?

You have a serious drug problem or you are completely insane.

Congress Legislates Law, The Supreme Court ensures it is Constitutional, the Executive Branch Enforces The Law.

Go get an Education or quit shooting Heroin.

We are not part of Mexico, and never will be. Mexican Law or any Fantasy Land Globalist Ideas of No Borders does not apply.

It's my assertion all along that the creation of safe havens for undocumented "immigrants" is: Unethical. Unconstitutional. Illegal. Treasonous. Inhumane.
This country still is a Democratic Republic. Our local city and state representatives are elected by us in the understanding they where elected to represent what is best for US. I don't see how giving sanctuary to illegals without our consent is in our best interest.
This has been going on a long time (30 years), anybody ever remember making your city or state a sanctuary for illegals on any ballot? Or even, perhaps some sort of public notices or hearings or anything that would even hint that our leaders where planning this? Doesn't that seem...odd? Um, somebody skipped a huge step or two. We are supposed to tell our representatives what we want. Not the other way round. Sanctuary cities are created by star chambers. Its time to say enough is enough.

 

[The Original Tree]

Our immigration Law Completely Agrees with you.

This is why the Radical Left does not even attempt to discuss the law.

They pretend Congress cannot pass legislation and that No Law is valid.

[Borillar]

Actually, the law should be FULLY ENFORCED!!!

If you hang a few Democrats every time an illegal they harbored kills someone, the nonsense would stop!!!

Nancy Peloisi could get 5 years in a Federal Prison just for encouraging Illegal Immigration.

Governor Newsome in California could get 5-10 for giving Illegals Healthcare and for promoting Sanctuary Cities.

Giving Illegals Drivers Licenses is a 5 year Prison Sentence.

The Problem is that we are NOT ENFORCING LAWS we already have.

Would Trump get a prison sentence for employing illegals in his hotels and golf courses?

 

[danielpalos]

You cannot help an Illegal Alien Enter in to The US Illegally.

8 U.S. Code § 1327.Aiding or assisting certain aliens to enter

Any person who knowingly aids or assists any alien inadmissible under section 1182(a)(2) (insofar as an alien inadmissible under such section has been convicted of an aggravated felony) or 1182(a)(3) (other than subparagraph (E) thereof) of this title to enter the United States, or who connives or conspires with any person or persons to allow, procure, or permit any such alien to enter the United States, shall be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.

(June 27, 1952, ch. 477, title II, ch. 8, § 277, 66 Stat. 229; Pub. L. 100–690, title VII, § 7346(a), (c)(1), Nov. 18, 1988, 102 Stat. 4471; Pub. L. 101–649, title V, § 543(b)(4), title VI, § 603(a)(16), Nov. 29, 1990, 104 Stat. 5059, 5084; Pub. L. 104–208, div. C, title III, § 308(d)(3)(A), Sept. 30, 1996, 110 Stat. 3009–617.)

8 U.S. Code § 1327 - Aiding or assisting certain aliens to enter

It is completely legal and actually required by law, to assist foreign individual seeking asylum legally.

It is not Legal to assist an Illegal Alien attempting to come in to The US Illegally.

Only if they come through a port of entry and claim Asylum first can you advise them and direct them to Border Patrol. It is illegal to help them avoid Border Patrol or ICE. They must declare themselves. Even turning and running from a Border Patrol Agent is a crime. It is also illegal for a Coyote to take payment to assist an Illegal Alien in to crossing in to US Territory.

They also can only claim Asylum from a Contiguous Nation.

They cannot skip over Mexico to claim Asylum in The US. 98% of Asylum claims are Fraudulent, and only 2% show up for their Asylum Hearings. You'll be happy to know that we have an administration that is putting an end to abuses of Asylum status.

We have no Jurisdiction until they are on US soil.

Would Trump get a prison sentence for employing illegals in his hotels and golf courses?

Yes, he should. In fact, lets take that a step further. Lets investigate every legislator that ever supported or allowed illegal immigration. The fact we have sanctuary cities and then the fact it wasn't voters or constituents that ASKED for it, it was never asked of us or announced or made clear to the public what local representatives where doing. Our government is supposed to operate in openness and clarity. With transparency. Not sneaking around behind the voter's backs with hidden agendas. Don't kid yourself, no city ever got to vote on their sanctuary city status. Not one. This isn't my ideal of how a Democratic Republic works. A dictatorship, yes.

[The Original Tree]

There is no fantasy. It's all in your head.

Please define this Right Wing Fantasy where you say that The US has no right to manage Immigration and Define Citizenship.

Otherwise, you are just trolling.

The 9th and 10th amendments say the opposite, that there has to be explicit authorization granted in the Constitution, or then by default there is no federal jurisdiction possible at all.

Those are just words, feelings and opinion.

You are unable to prove your assertion that Congress does not have the right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

Please Prove that Immigration Law does not exist, and that Congress does not have a right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

Our Constitution is express not implied by right wing fantasy in any way. Show us the express immigration clause, right wingers. Naturalization is not immigration. We should have no illegals or any illegal underclass, with our express, Naturalization clause.

I can copy and paste the same statement over and over and over again. What you are doing is trolling the thread, and not even bothering to debate a single point.

US LAW exists. Deal with it. Have Congress Change it if you do not like it.

Every response I see from you is unsupported opinion and feelings.

You are unable to prove your assertion that Congress does not have the right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

Please Prove that Immigration Law does not exist, and that Congress does not have a right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

Standing is all that is required in open federal court.

Standing? You mean like the over 200 year history and precedent of Congress making Immigration and Naturalization Law, Statutes, Policies and Standards?
I have to ask if you are from another planet, because you cannot be from the same country as you are clueless about our Constitution and Laws.

8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien

For the Dummies that say US LAW dealing with Immigration and Naturalization does not exist. Research your little bleeding LibTard Hearts Out.

8 U.S. Code CHAPTER 12—IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY

• SUBCHAPTER I—GENERAL PROVISIONS (§§ 1101 – 1107)
• SUBCHAPTER II—IMMIGRATION (§§ 1151 – 1382)
• SUBCHAPTER III—NATIONALITY AND NATURALIZATION (§§ 1401 – 1504)
• SUBCHAPTER IV—REFUGEE ASSISTANCE (§§ 1521 – 1525)
• SUBCHAPTER V—ALIEN TERRORIST REMOVAL PROCEDURES (§§ 1531 – 1537)

8 U.S. Code Chapter 12 - IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY

Extra-Constitutional laws are null and void, from Inception.

Let me get this straight, The Constitution Gives Congress The Power to Legislate and Create Law, and your argument is that they do not have the power to create a single law?

So Laws allowing Foreigners to apply for Citizenship, Green Cards, Work and Student VISAs, or allow for Applications for Immigration are all Null and Void? You are smoking crack. In other words, you are saying if you weren't an original colonist, or the descendant of one, you are not a citizen?

Your responses are repetitive, and nothing but feelings and opinion.

You are unable to prove your assertion that Congress does not have the right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

Please Prove that Immigration Law does not exist, and that Congress does not have a right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

Show us the express power over Immigration, delegated to our federal Congress by the People?

US CODE and the History of Legislation is posted in this thread.

Feel free to read any of it if you like.

Passed by Congress and signed in to Law and upheld by SCOTUS.

Our Ninth and Tenth Amendments are more supreme than any implied, right wing fantasy.

Your Insanity, and lack of knowledge is no excuse for trolling the thread with irrelevant one liners that do not discuss the actual topic.

 

[The Original Tree]

Actually, the law should be FULLY ENFORCED!!!

If you hang a few Democrats every time an illegal they harbored kills someone, the nonsense would stop!!!

Nancy Peloisi could get 5 years in a Federal Prison just for encouraging Illegal Immigration.

Governor Newsome in California could get 5-10 for giving Illegals Healthcare and for promoting Sanctuary Cities.

Giving Illegals Drivers Licenses is a 5 year Prison Sentence.

The Problem is that we are NOT ENFORCING LAWS we already have.

Would Trump get a prison sentence for employing illegals in his hotels and golf courses?

Yes, he should. In fact, lets take that a step further. Lets investigate every legislator that ever supported or allowed illegal immigration. The fact we have sanctuary cities and then the fact it wasn't voters or constituents that ASKED for it, it was never asked of us or announced or made clear to the public what local representatives where doing. Our government is supposed to operate in openness and clarity. With transparency. Not sneaking around behind the voter's backs with hidden agendas. Don't kid yourself, no city ever got to vote on their sanctuary city status. Not one. This isn't my ideal of how a Democratic Republic works. A dictatorship, yes.

Hardly since he was not directly responsible for hiring any illegal aliens. It is possible some HR manager if they knew they were hiring an illegal and did so with that foreknowledge could be held liable for that.

To my knowledge there are no Illegal Aliens working at any one of Donald Trump's 500 Corporations, or LLCs.

The 9th and 10th amendments say the opposite, that there has to be explicit authorization granted in the Constitution, or then by default there is no federal jurisdiction possible at all.

Those are just words, feelings and opinion.

You are unable to prove your assertion that Congress does not have the right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

Please Prove that Immigration Law does not exist, and that Congress does not have a right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

Our Constitution is express not implied by right wing fantasy in any way. Show us the express immigration clause, right wingers. Naturalization is not immigration. We should have no illegals or any illegal underclass, with our express, Naturalization clause.

I can copy and paste the same statement over and over and over again. What you are doing is trolling the thread, and not even bothering to debate a single point.

US LAW exists. Deal with it. Have Congress Change it if you do not like it.

Every response I see from you is unsupported opinion and feelings.

You are unable to prove your assertion that Congress does not have the right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

Please Prove that Immigration Law does not exist, and that Congress does not have a right to Legislate on Matters of Immigration, Naturalization, Citizenship and Border Security.

Standing is all that is required in open federal court.

Standing? You mean like the over 200 year history and precedent of Congress making Immigration and Naturalization Law, Statutes, Policies and Standards?
I have to ask if you are from another planet, because you cannot be from the same country as you are clueless about our Constitution and Laws.

Show us the express power delegated over immigration. Naturalization is not immigration. Only the right wing never gets it.

There is way too much misinformation and FLAT OUT DISGUSTING LIES, and Attempts to Deceive The American Public, and Dishonestly and Callously Paint Americans who want to see Immigration Law, Enforced and our Borders Secured as Racist.

There is ZERO MENTION OF RACE in our Immigration LAW. It only addresses the Illegal Act of Entering The Country without Authorization, and the Illegals Acts of Harboring, Transporting and Aiding Such People. It is even illegal to give an Illegal any kind of Official State Identification.

Sanctuary Cities are Illegal. Not Cooperating with ICE is Illegal. Helping Illegals Evade Law Enforcement Is Illegal. Even Giving an Illegal Access to Transportation is Illegal.

Giving them Free Healthcare and Government Benefits are ILLEGAL!

Read and Weep. This is an Invasion, and it is Conscious Law Breaking by The Lawless Democrat Party.

They have declared a CIVIL WAR upon America and upon The RULE OF LAW!

It is necessary for me to post the entire section of US Code that deals with this so that there is ZERO wiggle Room for the Liars and Propagandist who hate this country to IGNORE WHAT THE LAW SAYS!

1907. TITLE 8, U.S.C. 1324

Title 8, U.S.C. § 1324(a) defines several distinct offenses related to aliens. Subsection 1324(a)(1)(i)-(v) prohibits alien smuggling, domestic transportation of unauthorized aliens, concealing or harboring unauthorized aliens, encouraging or inducing unauthorized aliens to enter the United States, and engaging in a conspiracy or aiding and abetting any of the preceding acts. Subsection 1324(a)(2) prohibits bringing or attempting to bring unauthorized aliens to the United States in any manner whatsoever, even at a designated port of entry. Subsection 1324(a)(3).

Alien Smuggling -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(i) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing that a person is an alien, to bring to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever such person at a place other than a designated port of entry or place other than as designated by the Commissioner, regardless of whether such alien has received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States and regardless of any future official action which may be taken with respect to such alien.

Domestic Transporting -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law.

Encouraging/Inducing -- Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) makes it an offense for any person who -- encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law.

Bringing Aliens to the United States -- Subsection 1324(a)(2) makes it an offense for any person who -- knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has not received prior authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, to bring to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever, such alien, regardless of any official action which may later be taken with respect to such alien.

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), enacted on September 30, 1996, added a new 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(3)(A) which makes it an offense for any person, during any 12-month period, to knowingly hire at least 10 individuals with actual knowledge that these individuals are unauthorized aliens. See this Manual at 1908 (unlawful employment of aliens).

Unit of Prosecution -- With regard to offenses defined in subsections 1324(a)(1)(A)(i)-(v), (alien smuggling, domestic transporting, harboring, encouraging/inducing, or conspiracy/aiding or abetting) each alien with respect to whom a violation occurs constitutes a unit of prosecution. Prior to enactment of the IIRIRA, the unit of prosecution for violations of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2) was each transaction, regardless of the number of aliens involved. However, the unit of prosecution is now based on each alien in respect to whom a violation occurs.

Knowledge -- Prosecutions for alien smuggling, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(i) require proof that defendant knew that the person brought to the United States was an alien. With regard to the other violations in 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a), proof of knowledge or reckless disregard of alienage is sufficient.

Penalties -- The basic statutory maximum penalty for violating 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(i) and (v)(I) (alien smuggling and conspiracy) is a fine under title 18, imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or both. With regard to violations of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(ii)-(iv) and (v)(ii), domestic transportation, harboring, encouraging/inducing, or aiding/abetting, the basic statutory maximum term of imprisonment is 5 years, unless the offense was committed for commercial advantage or private financial gain, in which case the maximum term of imprisonment is 10 years. In addition, significant enhanced penalties are provided for in violations of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1) involving serious bodily injury or placing life in jeopardy. Moreover, if the violation results in the death of any person, the defendant may be punished by death or by imprisonment for any term of years. The basic penalty for a violation of subsection 1324(a)(2) is a fine under title 18, imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2)(A). Enhanced penalties are provided for violations involving bringing in criminal aliens, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2)(B)(i), offenses done for commercial advantage or private financial gain, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2)(B)(ii), and violations where the alien is not presented to an immigration officer immediately upon arrival, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2)(B)(iii). A mandatory minimum three year term of imprisonment applies to first or second violations of § 1324(a)(2)(B)(i) or (B)(ii). Further enhanced punishment is provided for third or subsequent offenses.

COMMENT: Further discussion of offenses defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a) is set forth in Chapter 3 of Immigration Law, published as part of the Office of Legal Education's Litigation Series, and as part of the USABook computer library.

Congress has the power to legislate....end of story. It is the First Article of The Constitution.

Article One of the United States Constitution - Wikipedia

Section 8 of Article One outlines Congress Authority to legislate over things like Naturalization.

Section 8 lays out the powers of Congress. It includes several enumerated powers, including the power to lay and collect taxes and tariffs for the "general welfare" of the United States, the power to borrow money, the power to regulate interstate and international commerce, the power to set naturalization laws, the power to coin and regulate money, the power to establish federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court, the power to raise and support military forces, and the power to declare war.

Section 8 also provides Congress the power to establish a federal district to serve as the national capital, and gives Congress the exclusive power to administer that district. In addition to various enumerated powers, Section 8 grants Congress the power to make laws necessary and proper to carry out its enumerated powers and other powers vested in it.

Section 9 places various limits on the power of Congress, banning bills of attainder and other practices.

Section 10 places limits on the states, prohibiting them from entering into alliances with foreign powers, impairing contracts, taxing imports or exports above the minimum level necessary for inspection, keeping armies, or engaging in war without the consent of Congress.



Quit being so lazy and asking people to do your work for you. You need to prove Congress does not have Legislative Authority and has not been legislating on Immigration and Naturalization for over 200 years.

Clause 3: To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

Now kindly STFU, before I have a mod delete all of your trolling posts and ban you from the thread.

Naturalization is not immigration. Only the right wing doesn't care about being faithful to our express law.
