Section 3, 14th Amendment - “ 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”.

Being that Mexican Drug Cartels are making Billions of dollars in profits from human and drug smuggling across our southern border. Those smuggling operations have achieved record success in the last two years directly resulting directly in the deaths of American citizens and severe economic and social stress on various state and local governments and their citizens.

And being that it is common knowledge and popular opinion that these drug cartels are openly enemies of the United States and that the intentional actions or purposeful inaction by various Federal civil officials and elected representatives have facilitated Cartel smuggling operations to a level never before seen, is it not reasonable to believe that these same Federal Civil and elected officials have knowingly provided aid and comfort to enemy drug cartels by way of legislation, encouragement, intentional lack of enforcement of existing laws, hampering of local and state attempts to enforce U.S. immigration laws and tacit approval of the untenable situation at the southern border. And that these same Civil and elected officials have knowingly and purposefully ignored expert advice and warnings from law enforcement and immigration experts in regards to measures to secure the border. And that these same officials willingly and purposefully approved the dismantling or cessation of physical barriers and other programs that had proven highly successful at combatting smuggling in the past.

Therefore is it reasonable that Civil and elected officials subject to the removal criteria in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment be immediately removed from any and all offices under the United States and banned from holding any future offices under the United States unless Congress by 2/3rds majority votes otherwise ?
