What Would You Do About The Illegal Alien Invasion?

Will you go to Washinton DC and tell congress that you want strong laws passed to stop the flood of illegal aliens, cut of the magnet of jobs and public assistance, and deport the ones who are here?

Join me in DC September 9-11 for FAIR's Lobby Days

This event will be held in conjunction with the Hold Their Feet to the Fire Radio Row. 50 national talk show hosts will be broadcasting their daily shows from DC all week.

FAIR Lobby Days 2008


The American people must hold their politicians feet to the fire by demanding the following federal immigration law be strictly enforced.

Federal Immigration and Nationality Act

Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii) Recruitment and Employment of Illegal Aliens Encouraging and Harboring Illegal Aliens Enforcement RICO —Citizen Recourse Tax Crimes Comment

Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii) "Any person who . . . encourages or induces an illegal 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 illegal 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 illegal 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 illegal 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.

Recruitment and Employment of Illegal Aliens

It is unlawful to hire an alien, to recruit an alien, or to refer an illegal alien for a fee, knowing the illegal alien is unauthorized to work in the United States. It is equally unlawful to continue to employ an illegal alien knowing that the illegal alien is unauthorized to work.

It is unlawful to hire any individual for employment in the United States without complying with employment eligibility verification requirements. Requirements include examination of identity documents and completion of Form I-9 for every employee hired. Employers must retain all I-9s, and, with three days' advance notice, the forms must be made available for inspection. Employment includes any service or labor performed for any type of remuneration within the United States, with the exception of sporadic domestic service by an individual in a private home. "Day laborers" or other casual workers engaged in any compensated activity (with the above exception) are employees for purposes of immigration law. An employer includes an agent or anyone acting directly or indirectly in the interest of the employer. For purposes of verification of authorization to work, employer also means an independent contractor, or a contractor other than the person using the illegal alien labor.

The use of temporary or short-term contracts cannot be used to circumvent the employment authorization verification requirements. If employment is to be for less than the usual three days allowed for completing the I-9 Form requirement, the form must be completed immediately at the time of hire.

An employer has constructive knowledge that an employee is an illegal unauthorized worker if a reasonable person would infer it from the facts. Constructive knowledge constituting a violation of federal law has been found where (1) the I-9 employment eligibility form has not been properly completed, including supporting documentation, (2) the employer has learned from other individuals, media reports, or any source of information available to the employer that the alien is unauthorized to work, or (3) the employer acts with reckless disregard for the legal consequences of permitting a third party to provide or introduce an illegal alien into the employer's work force. Knowledge cannot be inferred solely on the basis of an individual's accent or foreign appearance.

Actual specific knowledge is not required. For example, a newspaper article stating that ballrooms depend on an illegal alien work force of dance hostesses was held by the courts to be a reasonable ground for suspicion that unlawful conduct had occurred.

It is illegal for nonprofit or religious organizations to knowingly assist an employer to violate employment sanctions, regardless of claims that their convictions require them to assist illegal aliens. Harboring or aiding illegal aliens is not protected by the First Amendment. It is a felony to establish a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading any provision of federal immigration law. Violators may be fined or imprisoned for up to five years.

Encouraging and Harboring Illegal Aliens

It is a violation of law for any person to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection in any place, including any building or means of transportation, any illegal alien who is in the United States in violation of law. Harboring means any conduct that tends to substantially facilitate an alien to remain in the U.S. illegally. The sheltering need not be clandestine, and harboring covers aliens arrested outdoors, as well as in a building. This provision includes harboring an alien who entered the U.S. legally but has since lost his legal status.

An employer can be convicted of the felony of harboring illegal aliens who are his employees if he takes actions in reckless disregard of their illegal status, such as ordering them to obtain false documents, altering records, obstructing INS inspections, or taking other actions that facilitate the alien's illegal employment. Any person who within any 12-month period hires ten or more individuals with actual knowledge that they are illegal aliens or unauthorized workers is guilty of felony harboring. It is also a felony to encourage or induce an alien to come to or reside in the U.S. knowing or recklessly disregarding the fact that the alien's entry or residence is in violation of the law. This crime applies to any person, rather than just employers of illegal aliens. Courts have ruled that "encouraging" includes counseling illegal aliens to continue working in the U.S. or assisting them to complete applications with false statements or obvious errors. The fact that the alien is a refugee fleeing persecution is not a defense to this felony, since U.S. law and the UN Protocol on Refugees both require that a refugee must report to immigration authorities without delay upon entry to the U.S.

The penalty for felony harboring is a fine and imprisonment for up to five years. The penalty for felony alien smuggling is a fine and up to ten years' imprisonment. Where the crime causes serious bodily injury or places the life of any person in jeopardy, the penalty is a fine and up to twenty years' imprisonment. If the criminal smuggling or harboring results in the death of any person, the penalty can include life imprisonment. Convictions for aiding, abetting, or conspiracy to commit alien smuggling or harboring, carry the same penalties. Courts can impose consecutive prison sentences for each alien smuggled or harbored. A court may order a convicted smuggler to pay restitution if the illegal alien smuggled qualifies as a victim under the Victim and Witness Protection Act. Conspiracy to commit crimes of sheltering, harboring, or employing illegal aliens is a separate federal offense punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 or five years' imprisonment.

Enforcement

A person or entity having knowledge of a violation or potential violation of employer sanctions provisions may submit a signed written complaint to the INS office with jurisdiction over the business or residence of the potential violator, whether an employer, employee, or agent. The complaint must include the names and addresses of both the complainant and the violator, and detailed factual allegations, including date, time, and place of the potential violation, and the specific conduct alleged to be a violation of employer sanctions. By regulation, the INS will only investigate third-party complaints that have a reasonable probability of validity. Designated INS officers and employees, and all other officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws, may make an arrest for violation of smuggling or harboring illegal aliens.

State and local law enforcement officials have the general power to investigate and arrest violators of federal immigration statutes without prior INS knowledge or approval, as long as they are authorized to do so by state law. There is no extant federal limitation on this authority. The 1996 immigration control legislation passed by Congress was intended to encourage states and local agencies to participate in the process of enforcing federal immigration laws. Immigration officers and local law enforcement officers may detain an individual for a brief warrantless interrogation where circumstances create a reasonable suspicion that the individual is illegally present in the U.S. Specific facts constituting a reasonable suspicion include evasive, nervous, or erratic behavior; dress or speech indicating foreign citizenship; and presence in an area known to contain a concentration of illegal aliens. Hispanic appearance alone is not sufficient. Immigration officers and police must have a valid warrant or valid employer's consent to enter workplaces or residences. Any vehicle used to transport or harbor illegal aliens, or used as a substantial part of an activity that encourages illegal aliens to come to or reside in the U.S. may be seized by an immigration officer and is subject to forfeiture. The forfeiture power covers any conveyances used within the U.S.

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.

Tax Crimes

Employers who aid or abet the preparation of false tax returns by failing to pay income or Social Security taxes for illegal alien employees, or who knowingly make payments using false names or Social Security numbers, are subject to IRS criminal and civil sanctions. U.S. nationals who have suffered intentional discrimination because of citizenship or national origin by an employer with more than three employees may file a complaint within 180 days of the discriminatory act with the Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices, U.S. Department of Justice. In addition to the federal statutes summarized, state laws and local ordinances controlling fair labor practices, workers compensation, zoning, safe housing and rental property, nuisance, licensing, street vending, and solicitations by contractors may also apply to activities that involve illegal aliens.

Comment:

A comment and a published quote by Robert Gaffney, Attorney and County Executive of Suffolk County, LI, NY:

The statutory foundation of United States immigration law has always been the jurisdiction of the federal government, Congress and the federal courts. The preeminent laws concerning the employment of illegal aliens are found in the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. §~ 1101-1503), as amended by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 CIRCA).

The law states it is a crime to assist an illegal alien who lacks employment authorization by referring him to an employer, or by acting as his or her employer, or as an agent for an employer. 8 U.S.C.S. § 1324a(a)(1)(A) (Lexis 1997). Furthermore, it is unlawful to hire an individual for employment without complying with the employment eligibility requirements for every person hired. 8 U.S.C.S. § 1324a(a)(l)(B) (Lexis 1997). Moreover, conduct tending substantially to facilitate illegal aliens remaining in the United States illegally, where there is knowledge or a reckless disregard of an illegal alien s unlawful status, is a crime, with escalating penalties, encompassed within the provisions of 1324. 8 U.S.C.S. § 1324(a)(l)(A)(iii) (Lexis 1997); United States v. Kim. 193 F-3d 567 (2d Cir. 1999), are considered employees for purposes of immigration law.

Tennessee PING

Join me and lobby our TN Senators and Congressmen Sept 9 and 10

Let’s Hold their Feet to the Fire about the illegal alien invasion...

[Man50D]

A local radio talk show host I'm listening to right now has been discussing the how the brutal gang MS-13 seeks out so called self proclaimed "sanctuary cities" and politicians who favor such cities and then set up their thugs in these cities with the ultimate goal of taking over.

The talk show host is discussing it because the Hartford CT city council last night past an ordinance to give social services benefits to illegal aliens and prevents city officials from asking a person's place of origin. Th Mayor must sign off to make it official. It's 50-50 as to if he will sign.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I’d deport them all, no matter where they are from, and let the leaders of their native countries sort them out.

[ASA Vet]

Being a humane nation and people we must provide those poor folks free air travel home.

[RexFamilia]

PROPOSE THE FOLLOWING IMMIGRATION LAWS:

1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools.

2. All ballots will be in this nation’s language.

3. All government business will be conducted in our language.

4. Non-residents will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they are here.

5. Non-citizens will NEVER be able to hold political office.

6. Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, or other government assistance programs. Any burden will be deported.

7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount at least equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.

8. If foreigners come here and buy land... options will be restricted. Certain parcels including waterfront property are reserved for citizens naturally born into this country.

9 . Foreigners may have no protests; no demonstrations, no waving of a foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies. These will lead to deportation.

10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be actively hunted and, when caught, sent to jail until your deportation can be arranged. All assets will be taken from you..

Harsh, you say?.......

The above laws are current immigration laws of MEXICO

[wendy1946]

The problem isn't illegal immigration per se so much as the attitudes of the people and government of Mexico.

I'd immediately cease all commerce with Mexico and build a real barrier with bar bed wire, thorn bushes, land mines, and machinegun nests and let it be known that henceforth anybody trying to cross from Mexico was just going to die, simple as that, and that until Mexico reformed its entire society from top to bottom, the US simply did not give a rat's *** what happened to it.

And then, ASSUMING we really need "guest workers(TM)" which is a hell of a big assumption, I'd set up some point offshore, possibly a mothballed aircraft carrier, and let EVERYBODY south of the border have an even shot at it, not just Mexicans, just men, no wives, no "anchor babies" or othe rfamily members, and whoever needed the "guest workers" would have to pick them up there, supply all their needs while they were in the states, and then take them back there when it was time for them to leave, and the whole bill would be footed by the employer and none of it by the American citizens and taxpayers.

[DieHard the Hunter]

> What Would You Do About The Illegal Alien Invasion?

If I were the gummint, I would require everybody to present their citizenship / landed immigrant credentials to their local police station, for checking.

If their documents checked out, I would have each person be given a barcode tattoo, either on their forehead or on their hand: something that is easy to scan, in infra-red ink so it doesn’t show.

And I would have everyone inserted with a microchip — the sort that they use on dogs and cattle — subcutaneously: when scanned they emit a unique number.

Next, I would require all banks, government agencies, and retail outlets to scan their customers, using either the barcode tattoo or the microchip. No financial transaction would be valid unless the scan was valid. Nobody without a barcode tattoo or microchip could buy or sell anything: not food, not petrol, nothing. They couldn’t even sit for their driver’s license, open a bank account or pay their phone bill.

Illegal aliens would not have the necessary identification, so they could not be barcoded or microchipped. They would have to go home else they wouldn’t eat.

That’s what I’d do if I was the gummint. And we all know that this is going to happen sooner or later. It is inevitable, and was predicted a long, long time ago...

[stuartcr]

Make their employers abide by the laws.

[PGalt]

Thanks for your continued service to this great nation. America’s finest.

OUTSTANDING FReeper comments BUMP!

[newfreep]

Simply enforce current laws which include:
1. Build the fence
2. Fine employers hiring illegals
3. Deport

[PreciousLiberty]

“What Would You Do About The Illegal Alien Invasion?”

Deport.

[Eye of Unk]

I would invade a section of say Mexico, set up a perimeter and build a small city that is somewhat a neutral zone to house these illegal immigrants and use them as workers for jobs Americans won’t do.
Bus or fly them across the border for a two week on/off rotation schedule at key work areas inside the US much like a minimal security prison, work farm or assembly plant, they live in Mexico but must learn English, learn driving skills and earn credits in vocational skills, THEN they get to come across the border and be a citizen.

[hunter112]

I depart from a lot of conservatives on my solution to this, we really do need a biometrically-secured national ID card. Yeah, yeah, "papers, please" and all that, but if you want a job, welfare, or the vote, then you need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you are really entitled to be here.

Then, you work on the supply side, you penalize employers who don't check out the national employment database, and fire and jail government bureaucrats who don't verify who they are handing the money of honest taxpayers to.

Take away the reason to be here illegally, and 90% of the problem dries up.
