The "aid and comfort" prong of treason has been interpreted
by SCOTUS as requiring proof of four elements:
1. an intent to betray the United States (which can be inferred from);
2. an overt act;
3. witnessed by two people; and
4. that provides aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States.
>>> C. Edmund Wright is typical of many of the Perry backers (including builders, poultry processors and grocery owners): as long as I can benefit from illegal immigrants I couldn’t care less how it negatively affects the country.>>>
That is very misguided. You cannot say that builders, grocery owners and poultry processors benefit from this labor and then say that their customers — ie all consumers — don’t benefit as well. Consumers set the price of any good or service, not businesses. The businesses then have to figure out a way to meet that price or go out of business.
So actually, anyone who has ever shopped for any good or service based on price has benefitted from cheap labor, be it legal or illegal.
And you can’t assume that I ever hired illegals, because I ran all of my labor through a third party HR firm to vet them.
More to the point, it is the non working illegals here soaking up benefits that are killing us. it is the crime gangs that are killing us. It is the continued hand outs and the continued weak border incenting this behavior that is killing us.
An economy that has evolved over 50 years with consumers and businesses and labor ALL HAVING AN IMPACT ON IT is not what is killing us.
