"First off its not against the law or individuals to aid illegal aliens.
Read the rest of that USC 8 link so you don't keep making a fool of yourself. You really don't know what you're talking about.
You may get the label of stupid, liar, or at the least ignorant, if you keep making statements like that one."


Giving food and drink or clothing to an illegal alien is not a crime. Thats the reason certain people wanted to put the word "assists" into the law which the house bill did I believe and created all that controversy a few months back.

Again the word "assists" is not in current law. Thas what the controversy is about. Thats what I mean by aiding.

It doesn't matter what you mean by aiding, it's what the law SAYS and it doesn't say what you mean!

Fine, show me where in the law it says that...chapter and verse.
Prove what you claim. If you can prove it I'll apologize profusely and learn something in the process.

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 1 > § 3. Accessory after the fact
Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact.

That looks like assists to me and that is current law...
Shall we dicker over "comforts or assists" now?
