FEDERAL AND STATE RULE OF LAW ON ILLEGALS

Thank you for caring about America and the Rule of Law.

Let’s put the blame where it belongs, on Government. Mexico in its twelfth addition of “how to break into America and get free stuff” and the United States Government for not enforcing our laws and promising more rewards for breaking the law.

Shames on them for letting things get this bad. 5,000 to 10,000 arriving daily, but they still trumpet amnesty to encourage them to keep coming. Forget we were promised in 1986 after giving Amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens that would never happen again, we would secure the border and enforce the law. Shame on us for thinking Washington would keep their promise.

We have a massive failure of government, like Hurricane Katrina, the failure is at all levels, federal, state and local.

We are a Nation of Laws. "Our" elected officials, and our appointed officials, must have the courage – the fortitude – to enforce, with compassion, without apology, those laws that protect the integrity of our borders and the rights of our lawful citizens.

Open borders, Sanctuary policies put every single American at Risk!

How much crime are they willing to tolerate before they get serious? How many more billions in services can we afford?

Half a million protesters in Los Angeles, 20,000 in Phoenix, and all over the country. I wonder.......anybody think there is an illegal immigration problem in this country? The vast majority are illegal aliens, led by radical illegal immigration activists.

Spineless politicians hiding under their desks instead of taking a stand against this rampant lawlessness. McCain, Kennedy, Flake working hard to reward ALL law violators. U.S. citizenship "For Sale" Only "Felons" may apply.

"Local Law Enforcement has Inherent Authority of Immigration Law:”

Any decision not to enforce immigration laws is a political decision by politicians and local police and Sheriff’s, not a lack of authority. The states are bound by the Supremacy Clause of the United ‘States Constitution to enforce violations of the federal immigration laws. "The statutory law of the United States is part of the law of each state just as if it were written into state statutory law."

Unsanctioned entry into the United States is a crime.

In 1999 a decision in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the independent authority of local police departments to enforce federal immigration law. Inherent arrest authority of states arises from their pre-constitutional status as sovereign entities.

The powers retained by the states at the time of ratification proceeded "not from the people of the United States, but from the people of the several states.

Sanctuary policies are illegal. In fact government agencies that sanction or retaliate against employees or officials who report immigration law violations can be sued by the whistleblower under 8 U.S.C. 1373 or 8 U.S.C. 1644 for damages and costs.

Citizens have a constitutional right and should demand local enforcement of federal laws.

Local government officials do not possess Eleventh Amendment immunity or qualified immunity when sued in their official for capacity for constitutional violations.

"Harboring" includes any conduct that tends to substantially help an alien to remain in the United States unlawfully. Criminal liability for harboring or sheltering could arise from acceptance of a Mexican matricula consular (like Mesa does) – which, presented without proper immigration documents, is prima facie evidence of illegal alien status – by a local government agency for any benefit without verifying their immigration status with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

No policy or humanitarian argument has been identified by the courts that would negate the criminal mens rea of reckless disregard for the fact that aliens are present in the United States in violation of law. The First Amendment does not protect actions that aid illegal aliens to remain in the United States.

Illegal aliens are not entitled to Fourteenth Amendment based strict scrutiny of any discriminatory classification, since their status is the product of conscious unlawful action.

A law enforcement officer has probable cause to detain an individual who admits he or she is an alien (legal or illegal) but is not in possession of registration documents.

Immigration document fraud is a felony enforceable by local police officers under 18 U.S.C. 1028. Criminalizes eight types of knowing conduct that relate to false identification documents.

The Bail Reform Act of 1984 authorizes a state of local police officer to arrest any alien other than a legal permanent resident for a federal "offense," and a local magistrate to temporarily detain the alien for up to ten days."

The authority to make arrest for federal offenses under 18 U.S.C. 3041 extends to state and local law enforcement officers. (U.S. v Bowdach, 561 F.2d 1160, 1168 (5th Cir. 1977) An illegal alien is an inherent flight risk.

Supreme Court Ruling Razes Artificial Fire Wall Between Local Law Enforcement and Immigration Enforcement (Muehler v. Mena) 9-0 Landmark Decision (Washington D.C.—April 1, 2005).

"Whatever legal fig leaf many police departments have been using to justify policies of non-cooperation with federal immigration authorities, has been stripped away by this landmark Supreme Court decision,"

Law enforcement can no longer be allowed to sit on the sidelines and be spectators to the destruction of our neighborhoods or our nation. They have not only the authority, but the duty.

---IF THE GOVERNMENT WAS SERIOUS ABOUT IMMIGRATION LAW ENFORCEMENT THEY WOULD DO MORE ABOUT IT.
