What do you think?

The crime of treason is very narrowly defined and controlled by the Constitution. Strike #3, #6 and #7 as violating the Constitution, Article 3, Section 3, Clause 1. "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court." Enemies exist only in a state of war.

For #1, the fine of $500,000 per day would almost certainly be struck down as unreasonable.

#6 violates U.S. Const. Art. 1, Sec. 6, Cl 1. "The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place." Congress critters are immune from prosecution for their legislative acts.

#9 runs into a problem with execution. Nobody can be deported without the prior consent of the receiving nation, and that nation's provision of travel documents. There are presumably millions of visa overstays.

#10 violates U.S. Const., Amdt. 14, Sec. 1: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."

#10 entails the non-existent power to remove citizenship.

#10 has deportation occurring before the hearing for deportation. This is pretty much the definition of a violation of due process. There is no trial for deportation. Deportation and removal hearings are admnistrative proceedings, not judicial proceedings. Immigration courts are not part of the Judicial Branch of government. They are part of the Executive Branch under the DOJ.

As invasion IS a state of (not officially declared but existing) war and the Biden regime is openly giving aid and comfort to the invaders - that’s definitely Treason. Hanging is the traditional penalty.

Good analysis.

1) The phrase is “enemies” and part of the declaration is that anyone entering our country illegally is considered an enemy of the United States.
2) Then make the fine $5000.
3) We can strike #6 or rephrase it as anyone who is caught in the Congress advocating for NGO’s that provide money for illegal entry or provide direct aid to illegal entrants shall constitute grounds for impeachment.
4) Yes, and they will be informed that a Visa overstay is returning and failure to allow that person to return results in trade sanctions and freezing of any assets we can acquire.
5) The argument can be made that by the second clause, since the parents are both citizens of other countries and refused to follow our laws then the baby is not considered “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”.
6) Hold them in detention centers to conclude their hearings. Most will self-deport if there are no jobs or benefits for them.
