You're welcome. Now we know why the 'Rats and RINOs are in such an all-fired rush...

But in Los Angeles, the Mayor and City Council prevents the LAPD(Special Order 40) prevents the LAPD in participating in rounding up illegal aliens. They can not even ask their immigration status. This is very similar in many cities that have "Sanctuary City" ordinances. Is the city then promoting in an illegal enterprise"?

[concerned about politics]

This could be a important law against muncipalities who have "sanctuary laws" for illegal immigants. Several lawsuits have been filed here in California against cities using this law.

Good. It's nice to hear someone is getting this ball rolling.
This is a great move. Someone was thinking!

I know what LA is doing, but according to SCOTUS, law enforcement can disobey those "sanctuary laws" when they follow "the law" (i.e., the Supreme Court's decision).

I certainly would say that LA is aiding and abetting criminals and criminal behavior; as such, I would think the city is liable for suit as they are putting citizens at risk for injury, assault, and death by illegals, which in itself is criminal.

Bump

And not just LA...

Chicago Declared an Immigrant Sanctuary

I know, it's going on all around the country. Wouldn't it be nice if elected officials and law enforcement actually were concerned about the legal taxpayers who pay their salaries, rather than the nonrights of illegals?

To the pandering politicians, the tax payers are nothing but dollar signs. We're their tax slaves. If we can't support our own families as well as the incoming 90 million new immigrants, we'll just have to take on two jobs if we want to eat. As long as they get our money, why would they care what happens to us?
It's the votes that count, silly, and the grasshoppers are about to outnumber the ants.

I know and they sicken me.

That is the nice feature of this law. If enough people filed private RICO violations against employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens that would prompt employers to stop hiring them and end the magnet of illegal aliens. That could effectively solve most of the problems.Also banks who take knowingly money from illegal aliens are not immune from the law.

The problem is the Amnesty bill as passed by the Senate.

It not only provides Amnesty for the Invaders, it provides for Amnesty for the companies that hired them also, and shields them from RICO prosecution.

That part is likely to pass, in some form.

[garbageseeker]

I agree. I think the public by reading this post and thread they would be more educated about the power they have. Maybe we can prevent the Senate from passing that part the bill that prevents corporations to become immune to RICO.Time to melt the phone lines of the House conference committee

[garbageseeker]

Goodbye everyone. Have a nice Memorial Day!!

Keep the post coming.

While I am sympathetic to those bringing the lawsuits, they cause a dilemma for me.

These suits, if successful, will bankrupt many a company for following standard operating practices as implicitly approved by the US government.

Who will benefit from a rash of major companies being forced into bankruptcy?

Certainly no US citizen, except for those who receive the proceeds of the lawsuits.

"These suits, if successful, will bankrupt many a company for following standard operating practices as implicitly approved by the US government. "


How do you figure?

[Balding_Eagle]

Which part?

They will bankrupt the company's because many have hired so many illegals over the years. The triple damages, and legal fees for both parties that the companies will be forced to pay if they lose will more than likely far exceed any possibility of the company paying them, and the only sensible thing for them to do would be to declare bankruptcy.

As far a 'standard operating practice', I think that speaks for itself. The government (wrongly) looked the other way for so long, that hiring illegals became the only way to do business.

I said this was a dilemma for me, I'm a law and order type. But, wrecking the company's, and thus the lives of hundreds of thousands of LEGAL employees would be a worse cure than granting the company's some leniency.

yes but there is a conflict. Democrats love illegal immigration the lawyers love the Democrats. So which special interest will win? hint it's not the middle class

[unseen]

If you rob and cheat for years and your entire life is based on robbing and cheating and you are finally caught what would you expect the courts to do? Most likely all your ill gotten gains would be confiscated and you would lose your freedom for a long time. After which you would have to start over from nothing. Now if this is how it works for the average Joe why should business be treated different? They have broken the law for years have profited from the law breaking and have caused many families economic hardship by giving jobs to non-citizens. They should be punished to the full force of the courts and law. If they go out of business it will send a very powerful message to business in the future. Play by the rules or else.

Take a peek at some of the LIBERAL blogs... this is really an AMERICAN issue... both sides of the aisle ARE united in favor of the HOUSE bill not the SHAMNESTY that the Senate produced
