Judge rules 130-year law against encouraging illegal immigrants is unconstitutional
Conservative Review ^ | 08/23/2019 | Daniel Horowitz

Imagine if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Rashida Tlaib got to single-handedly veto sovereignty legislation dating back to the 1880s just like a president could veto a new bill passed by Congress this session. Imagine if they could unilaterally abolish ICE and declare open borders, except, unlike a president, they wouldn’t have to stand for re-election. Well, that is exactly the situation this week with a single federal judge. Thanks to Republicans agreeing to the notion that judges – even lower court judges – have direct veto power over legislation, a foundational immigration law has just been “vetoed.”

KCUR-FM reports that on Wednesday, Judge Carlos Murguia of the U.S. District Court of Kansas ruled, based on a Ninth Circuit opinion, that 8 U.S.C. §1324, the law prohibiting someone from “encouraging” or “inducing” illegal immigration, is an unconstitutional infringement upon the First Amendment. In doing so, Murguia vacated the convictions of two illegal aliens, Jose Felipe Hernandez-Calvillo and Mauro Papalotzi, who were convicted in August 2018 by a jury for conspiring to encourage illegal aliens to remain here through employment at a drywall company in Lawrence, Kansas. Four others were originally indicted by a grand jury in 2015.

So indeed, this California law is unconstitutional, since it violates the 1st Amendment.

Aiding, Advising or Encouraging a Suicide (Penal Code 401 PC)

and ALL laws relating to conspiracy are also unconstitutional for the same reason.

"So, by extension, I could encourage anyone to commit a crime, then claim first amendment protection?"

That is precisely what this tyrant in a black rob is telling us.

Encourage someone to break into their neighbors house. Tell them the best time of day to do it. Explain to them the best method to do it.

And when that person does commit the burglary, you will not be subject to accessory to burglary charges because all you need to do now is claim a 1st amendment right.

"How did this happen?"

Not enough citizen's caring about their country or giving a damn about their future.
