Federal Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)

"Any person who . . . encourages or induces an alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . . . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . . fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."

Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):

A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:

* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or

* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or

* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.

Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment, and forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime. Anyone employing or contracting with an illegal alien without verifying his or her work authorization status is guilty of a misdemeanor. Aliens and employers violating immigration laws are subject to arrest, detention, and seizure of their vehicles or property. In addition, individuals or entities who engage in racketeering enterprises that commit (or conspire to commit) immigration-related felonies are subject to private civil suits for treble damages and injunctive relief.

When you scoff at this law, you are aiding and abetting illegals to steal American taxpayer's money.
You are also aiding and abetting illegals who rob banks, rape, kill,scam,run drugs,etc.

Sophestry. There are laws that require seatbelt use. If I don't wear my seatbelt am I aiding and abetting criminals who speed, and drive drunk?

Robbing banks, Rape, killing and drug dealing are separate crimes. That is why there are seperate laws prohibiting the actions. Again a member of the far right fringe equates all illegals with killers and rapists.

I think legal abortion is worse than illegally crossing the border to find a job. By your illogical thinking obeying the immigration laws must be aiding and abetting the murder of 1 million fetus's every year.
