Here’s my standard post. We can do something about this.

RICO —Citizen Recourse

Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to obtain injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). The pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of two or more of the listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any individual legal entity, or a group of individuals who are not a legal entity but are associated in fact, and can include nonprofit associations.

Here’s what I’ve been pushing: it’s time to file Racketeering, Influencing, and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuits.

RICO lawyers could turn it around in a few years and MAKE MONEY at the same time. I’m surprised they haven’t done it already.

In the absence of enforcement, we can get the word out in the meantime that there is money to be made in filing RICO lawsuits against employers who hire illegal aliens.

Employers would have no trouble shutting down the border if they could get sued by someone under the RICO statutes for hiring these people in the first place. The next time an illegal alien kills someone in a drunk driving accident or somesuch thing, I’m going to point out that the victim’s family might be able to seek compensation from the employer under these statutes in the hopes that it would catch on. If this did catch on, would see such a swift backlash against illegal immigration that no employer would go near these people and they’ll all simply want to go back home.

"...sounds like an effective way to let those in congress know our position...."

They already know our position. The problem is they have a different position, one that meshes with their NWO/SPP/NAU open borders wet dreams and an entirely new batch of dumbed down easier-to-control voters.

Sure glad to have FReepers joining in the new site!

Anyone with time and ideas on helping this grow legs, have at it. I’ll take a backseat to anyone, on any part of this to make it happen.

Just a quick insight into my immediate thoughts about this undertaking:

Do I know precisely all this will entail? Oh heck no! This is going into unchartered waters. I am not aware of anytime in the history of our wonderful nation that Citizens nationwide, in such a manner, exercised the First Amendment rights of assembly and petition to make the government respond to the People.

I am in absolute awe these two rights were seen as likely to be necessary more than two hundred years before we have found it necessary to exercise them. I am absolutely convinced the two rights were joined together in the manner they were to tell Citizens what to do in the event the government became unresponsive to the people.

I’m going to be overwhelmed. Yikes, but hey ... GREAT! I hope so. The more overwhelming this becomes, the more others take control, involve themselves, and the more everyone will recognize it took the efforts of all, not one or a few to make it happen.

I’m ready for the good fight, and by golly, knowledge of history of what the colonists and Founders gave of themselves to bring about this wonderful nation, and all the promise contained therein, prepped me for this fight. Their spirit thrives within me, as I know it thrives within each of us. For me, it is easier to fight the government that to deny the spirit of the Founders.

Yeah, the extra teeth will give the government no way out. The government will have to show itself as either being by and for the people, or ...

It’s time we know.
