Mexico is not ngaged in “immigration”....Mexico is colonizing the US. Mexican citizens on US soil are aggressive separatists, and lobbyists. They march against the US carrying banners reading, “Make America Mexico Again.”

NEED TO KNOW-—Are they registered as agents of a foreign government (smirk)?


WIKI-— The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) is a United States law (22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq.) passed in 1938 requiring that agents representing the interests of foreign powers in a “political or quasi-political capacity” disclose their relationship with the foreign government and information about related activities and finances.

The purpose is to facilitate “evaluation by the government and the American people of the statements and activities of such persons.” The law is administered by the FARA Registration Unit of the Counterespionage Section (CES) in the National Security Division (NSD) of the United States Department of Justice.[1] As of 2007 the Justice Department reported there were approximately 1,700 lobbyists representing more than 100 countries before Congress, the White House and the federal government.[2]


History of the Act-—— The Act originally was administered by the Department of State until transferred to the Department of Justice in 1942.[3] From passage in 1938 until 1966 when the Act was amended, enforcement focused on propagandists for foreign powers, even if it was not “for or on behalf of” those powers. It was used in 23 criminal cases during World War II. For cases not warranting prosecution, the Department of Justice sent letters advising prospective agents of the law.[3][4]

In 1966 the Act was amended and narrowed to emphasize agents actually working with foreign powers who sought economic or political advantage by influencing governmental decision-making. The amendments shifted the focus of the law from propaganda to political lobbying and narrowed the meaning of “foreign agent”.[5] From that moment on, an organization (or person) could only be placed in the FARA database if the government proved that it (or he or she) was acting “at the order, request, or under the direction or control, of a foreign principal” and proved that it (or he or she) was engaged “in political activities for or in the interests of such foreign principal,” including by “represent[ing] the interests of such foreign principal before any agency or official of the Government of the United States.”[6]

This increased the government’s burden of proof; since 1966 there have been no successful criminal prosecutions under the FARA act.[5] However, a civil injunctive remedy also was added to allow the Department of Justice to warn individuals and entities of possible violations of the Act, ensuring more voluntary compliance but also making it clear when the law has been violated. This has resulted in a number of successful civil cases and administrative resolutions since that time.[3]

(RIPE FOR CHANGE)

In 1995, the term “political propaganda” was removed from Subsection 611 following the 1987 Supreme Court case, Meese v. Keene, in which a California State Senator wanted to distribute three films from Canada about acid rain and nuclear war, but felt his reputation would be harmed if he distributed films that had been classified officially as “political propaganda”.[4][7] The Court backed up an earlier lower court ruling in favor of one of the film’s distributors in Block v. Meese.[8] The Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (LDA), 2 U.S.C. § 1601, removed from the Act certain agents engaged in lobbying activities who register under that Act, which is administered by Congress.[9]

In 2004 the Justice Department stated that the Foreign Agent Registration Unit’s database for tracking foreign lobbyists was in disrepair.[10] However, in 2007 The Justice Department launched an online database which can be used by the public to search filings and current reports.[2]


Scope of the Act——— The Act requires periodic disclosure of all activities and finances by people and organizations that are under foreign control (”agents”) of a foreign government, of organizations or of persons outside of the United States (”foreign principal”), if they act “at the order, request, or under the direction or control” of this principal or of persons who are “controlled or subsidized in major part” by this principal.[6]

Organizations under such foreign control can include political agents, public relations counsel, publicity agents, information-service employees, political consultants, fundraisers or those who represent the foreign power before any agency or official of the United States government.[6]

AS FRREPER BUFFALOJACK INSIGHTFULLY POSTED-—”Mexico is getting a little too bold lately”.....saying they’re not gonna build the wall....and burdening US taxpayers w/ their needy citizens.

“We should just screw the wall and place Mexico under martial law, since they obviously are not adhering to the conditions of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.”

“We should declare the treaty null and void, take back Mexico and replace their government with a US Military Governor.”

REMINDER TAXPAYERS : $266 million of our tax dollars
in the current spending bill is going to Central America
earmarked for "humanitarian aid to the children."

==============================================

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO HUMANITARIAN US FOREIGN AID
Former Guatemala Prez used US banks to launder foreign aid millions
thieving Guatemalan was elected to "redistribute" the dirt-poor nation's wealth.

Alfonso Portillo---ex-president of Central America's Guatemala--- faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy.... $1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kids.

Portillo colluded w/ corrupt C/A insiders---he personally endorsed three $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter.

The embezzled foreign aid money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.

<><> Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...

<><> plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator...

<><> through overdrafts financed by public reserves the pilfered foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates. (NY POST excerpt 5/28/13)

======================================

AND THIS Donald's going to go ballistic when he reads that Central American govts are threatening the United States of America.......UNLESS we send them more money.

Guatemalan President Otto Perez warns the USA:
"you will be inundated w/ more contagious illegals
if billions of US tax dollars are not handed over."

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - The United States should provide billions of dollars to help Central American nations curb the flow of illegal migrants, Guatemalan President Otto Perez said, and his government warns the problem will get worse if Washington fails to help.

Fleeing violence, trying to reach relatives already in the United States or seeking jobs, record numbers of child migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been stopped at the southern U.S. border this year, causing widespread alarm. Last month, the three countries pitched Washington an ambitious development plan to confront the issue.

They want to pump about $10 billion into the region to create jobs and lift living standards, with the bulk of funding coming from the United States, Perez told Reuters. He hopes the plan could come up with about $2 billion a year from 2015 to 2019, a sum he equated to roughly 10 percent of annual U.S. spending on border security and immigration enforcement.

"Now we understand it's not simply a question of the United States saying: 'Right, here's $2 billion a year for five years' for example - the governments of the three countries have to play their part too," the conservative Perez, who took power in early 2012, said in an interview late on Monday.

The US aid package would boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the United States, he added.

The three Central American governments are urging the United States to shoulder the lion's share of the costs, arguing that U.S. demand for illegal narcotics has fueled violence among drug gangs across much of the impoverished region.

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

Perez said he hoped the United States would put up about 60 percent of funding. "But we'll have to discuss it calmly and see what each individual country can do, and what can be achieved by common consent."

During meetings in New York in September, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Central American officials he hoped Congress could approve about $300 million in funding, Morales said, noting the sum was "nothing" given the scale of the problem.

Central American leaders are due to meet Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 12 in Washington to sound out U.S. support for their plan, Morales added.--SNIP--

Build the wall, enforce laws already on the books and put the public officials who have flouted the law on behalf of illegal immigrants on the same deportation bus with “ their people”, citizenship revoked.

Perhaps this needs to be done by concerned citizens at the street level.

roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States....

11 million has been a lie for the last 10-15 years. It's 30 million plus.

“The means that people living in the shadows will possibly be exposing themselves just as Trump inches closer to the White House”

And Trump needs to make that PERFECTLY CLEAR - that he will APPRECIATE the database being compiled and use it to track down the Illegals for deportation.

Presidents cannot enact laws on their own.
The DREAM Act never passed Congress.
Obama has enacted it anyway, illegally. DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
The states sued to stop his next illegal amnesty for illegal aliens, DAPA, Deferred Action for Parents of “Americans”.
If we had an opposition party they would have sued to stop DACA, but the Reublicans did not want it stopped.

All of the illegal aliens given work permits and green cards are still illegal aliens, he has simply deferred prosecution.
The next President CAN deport them.

Trump’s deportation force

I guess I haven't heard the details on this.

Will the deportation force wear scary black uniforms? Will they drag illegals to concentration camps? or will they just shoot them on sight?

Or are we just talking about ending benefits so that illegals decide to buy tickets and return to their home country?

They’re still spouting this bull$hit line of “11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States,”
when it’s 40 - 50 million ILLEGAL aliens invading our country.

Round them up, boot them out, and don’t be gentle about it.
