It will be interesting to see how this is implemented.

I have a friend who came to the USA 30 years ago with his parents.

I am wondering if it will be in his best interest to register.

And cue the lefty meltdowns in three, two, one…

Throw out all illegals. No exceptions. If they don’t self-deport, seize their assets and toss them.

[delchiante]

A law passed in 1940 created an immigrant registry to catch suspected communists. For years, the government aired television ads reminding all immigrants, including permanent residents, to register annually at local post offices. The system fell into disuse by the 1960s, when the government decided it was too costly and provided little benefit
..........

Stolen elections and invasions have consequences when another election happens in FAFO land.

White women and politicians would wail so loudly the heavens would open.

immigrants in the U.S. illegally to submit their personal information or face fines and prison time.

Immigrants Invaders in the U.S. illegally shouldn't "register" for anything - they should be deported immediately.

Illegal entry is a Federal crime AND a civil offense.

"Yes, entering the United States illegally can be a felony, depending on the circumstances.

Explanation

• The first time someone illegally enters the U.S., it's considered a misdemeanor.
• Subsequent re-entries are felonies.

The severity of punishment increases with the number of times someone has illegally re-entered the U.S.

Other factors that affect punishment include whether the person has been convicted of an aggravated felony.

Illegal entry is a federal crime and a civil offense. In addition to criminal penalties, people who enter the U.S. without authorization may face civil immigration detention and deportation proceedings.

Penalties for illegal entry

• For the first offense, the penalty may include a fine or imprisonment for up to six months.
• For subsequent offenses, the penalty may include a fine or imprisonment for up to two years.
• For re-entry after conviction for an aggravated felony, the penalty may include fines and imprisonment for up to 20 years.

Related offenses

• Other immigration-related crimes include:
• Bringing in or harboring unauthorized aliens
• Entering into marriage for the purpose of evading immigration laws
• Establishing a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading immigration laws

For years, the government aired television ads reminding all immigrants, including permanent residents, to register annually at local post offices.

So now the aliens will be tying up the lines at the post office along with those renewing their passports for all of their family members.

I love the kid that works as a porter at one of the diners near me.

So respectful, always brings us extra coleslaw and bread before the meal :) Refills our diet cokes.

I chat with him for a bit each time and throw him 5 bucks,

Obviously Hispanic, early 20s...very likely illegal.

But if he came here illegally, he’s gonna have to go...OR we open up a pathway to permanent residence because we CANT have anyone walking around being here illegally.

I don’t think Trump is interested in a pathway to citizenship so he will likely have to go.

He worked hard, hopefully saved some good money to build a future with..and he shouldn’t have been here at all so whatever he gained from working here is gravy.

Personal feelins can’t be involved

Something is a crime or it’s not.

If he’s the good kid he seems to be, then his real country could use hm...build THAT country into something not worth escaping.

If his country is beyond hope, then maybe he willf find his way back legally one day.

“ . The move to criminalize being in the U.S. illegally would build on the Trump administration’s efforts”

No, the crime would be not registering.

Typical media lies.

and the lefty judge who stops it.

[PeterPrinciple]

Your Responsibilities as a Permanent Resident
As a permanent resident, you are:

Required to obey all laws of the United States and localities;

Required to file your income tax returns and report your income to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities;

Expected to support the democratic form of government (“support” does not include voting. Permanent residents cannot vote in federal, state, or local elections.);

and Required to register with the Selective Service, if you are a male age 18 through 25.

Not true at all.

go home and follow the legal process is his pathway. They are here illegally, that path should have been closed forever. He is giving them one chance to get it right.
