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

[protectionist]

You are a lying weasel. Law enforcement does NOT have to cooperate with ICE. Local law enforcement can be deputized only with that agency's permission.

But if any government official deliberately attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, any illegal alien, they could be imprisoned for 5 years, in a federal prison, FOR EACH ALIEN in respect to whom such a violation occurs.

So you conceal, harbor, or shield from detection (as in passing sanctuary law), 1000 illegal aliens in your town, you get sentenced to 5,000 years in federal prison. Enforce the law, AG Barr. LOCK THEM UP!

If they would start with a flagrant lawbreaker like Libby Schaaf in Oakland and give her a long sentence for defying federal law, it might get the attention of some other lawbreakers. A couple 100 year sentences would do wonders for compliance.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

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!!!

Charge them as co-conspirators

This is going to continue to get worse unless Congress does the right thing and closes all of these loopholes and helps to enforce border security.

I'm not sure why we aren't charging people harboring illegals with Federal Crimes as outlined in the laws I posted.
Sanctuary Cities are completely illegal, and harboring illegals in this way is a 10 year jail sentence.

Again, this is why we need to Enforce Immigration Law and Secure The Borders. Illegal Immigration and Weak Border Security actually helps Domestic Gangs, as well as allows Foreign Gangs like MS-13 to cross our borders and continue to traffic in human beings and drugs.

I just saw on the news last night, some Democrat Representative actually helping a pregnant illegal immigrant sneak in to the country so she could drop her baby on this side of the border.

Now, that is illegal to do, so why isn't this Congressman being brought up on charges. The whole reason a lot of this is happening is that these people are politically insulated from being prosecuted. That needs to stop.

What ever happened to "No One Is Above The Law?"

This is a felony to do this.

[danielpalos]

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(a) Offenses

i demure. there is no express immigration clause. and, our welfare clause is General, not Common.

There is NO RIGHT to Immigration. It is a privilege and US code states it is illegal to assist anyone to immigrate in to The US Illegally.
People need to be prosecuted, especially in Sanctuary Cities.

Show us the express immigration clause, right wingers. Freedom of travel is also a natural right and no need to Infringe upon it, merely for right wing bigotry.

I showed you FEDERAL LAW. There is nothing Racist at all about Federal Immigration Law. No where is race mentioned at all.

Freedom of Travel within a nation for which you are a citizen is also restricted in that, you must abide by that Nation's Laws, and State's Laws otherwise Law Enforcement can apprehend you and restrict your freedom until your trial date.

What kind of dummy Lib Tard are you?

You don't even have a valid argument.

No one is Free to enter in to a Country Illegally.

There are even laws against transporting illegal contraband between states or a minor child to commit a sex crime against.

There is no "Blank Check" Freedom of Travel Right.

That power has to be delegated somewhere or it is unConstitutional and null and void, from Inception if we have to quibble about it in Any serious venue.

That power has to be delegated somewhere or it is unConstitutional and null and void, from Inception if we have to quibble about it in Any serious venue.

The Power to regulate Immigration was always assumed to exist since the inception of America. It was further defined in The 14th Amendment.

The 14th Amendment discusses persons who already have legal status in The US, and whom The United States has Jurisdiction over.

The United States does not have Jurisdiction over Foreign Nationals, so therefore, the 14th Amendment only applies to legal residents with legal status in The US who The US has Jurisdiction over, therefore making them subject to US law, and afforded the rights and protections persons of Legal Status are guaranteed.

Illegal Aliens have No Legal Status in The United States so this is why they can be removed from The US and deported back to their country of Origin. Their country of origin is who has legal jurisdiction on them.

You cannot deport a US Citizen, like you can a Foreign National or Illegal Alien.

Also The Anchor Baby Scenario is a Myth, and is nothing but a political football. Eventually that myth will be shattered by SCOTUS when the right case is brought before it.

DACA is also illegal and is not lawful.

This too at some point will be shot down.

AMENDMENT XIV

SECTION 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

SECTION 2
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

SECTION 3
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

SECTION 4
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

SECTION 5
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

My opinion is, that counting Illegal Aliens, and Registering them to Vote through California's Motor Voter Registration, is not only ILLEGAL according to Immigration Law, but is also a Violation of The 14th Amendment Section 2.

Attempts to Defraud other states of Federal Tax Dollars, and Proper Representation in Congress by Registering Illegal Aliens to Vote and Counting them in The Census is Fraud, and a violation of Section 2

These states therefore should have the number of their Representatives Reduced by the Number of Illegal Aliens living in their State.

Its that simple, and that clear. This is why The Left has fought to keep The Citizenship Question off of The Census because they know they are in violation of Section 2, and they should experience the consequences of their actions.

I did not miss the point at all. DACA is Unconstitutional, and so is the mythological Anchor Baby status. The United States does not have legal jurisdiction over Foreign Nationals in this country illegally. Illegal Aliens by definition have NO LEGAL STATUS and the US has no Jurisdiction over them, so they HAVE TO DEPORT THEM.

This includes Illegal Aliens who have children born in The US, since The US has No Jurisdiction over the parents. Now if someone on a legal Work Visa, or Student Visa has a child here, they can be declared a Natural Born Citizen, but NOT the Children of Illegal Aliens as they do not have legal status.
