The United States is a sovereign, autonomous and free nation. We accept NO outside law or legal system as above or beyond our own. Knowing this we can’t set aside our law because ANY leader finds it disadvantageous to enforce the law. This is his responsibility. ALL men are equal in holding human rights. But, nowhere does it say that they’re entitled to coverage by the Bill of Rights as Americans.
This is what’s happening in the matter of Illegal Immigration. Laws are in place for immigration into this country. These laws were made extant in jurisprudence until such time as it’s lawfully changed by Congress. The President can’t legally or morally reject enforcement of these laws.
But that hasn’t stopped Obama and his appointees from issuing edicts removing the enforcement “teeth” from organizations funded by taxpayer dollars and for the protection of taxpayers. Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued orders to NOT enforce certain aspects of law.
Obama devalued the law by proclaiming illegal immigration is NOT a felony. Immigration is alleged to be a “civil” construct allowing for selective enforcement. “Civil” implies contractual involvement as opposed to the “criminal” construct stating that an action deemed by definition to be against the law is punishable by law.
So; I want to approach this problem from a “civil” angle. The alien entity approaches the United States government and petitions for an entry visa, a work visa or some other legal paperwork to lawfully enter the United States. The bureaucratic gears clash and grind and after an agonizingly long period of time the paperwork comes back either approved or denied.
If denied, the accused can appeal or as is regularly the case, commits a
Criminal Trespass onto United States soil in violation of a civil process he’s retreated from in favor of the
Criminal Trespass. While it might not be a felony it’s still an infraction and violation of United States law. Throw in the fact a person committing this infraction can accomplish a criminal act amounting to payroll fraud in this country and you have a felonious action after the amount of $500 in wages has been accumulated (in most cases).
Multiply this by the thousands of illegal immigrants then multiply it again by the duration of the alien’s stay and the complexion of the problem changes from million to billions of dollars in social services wasted taking care of people denying Civil Law its reach. Criminal Laws are ignored by incompetent political hacks in office in Washington D.C. (Obama, Holder, Napolitano and every liberal hack politician looking to pad their electorate power base with illegal alien registrants, amnesty thieves and padded union rolls included.)
Then there’s the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, the so-called “Anchor Baby” amendment. Proposed in 1866 and ratified by the states in 1868 it states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside.” The determination was made and upheld that the amendment should protect all persons born in the nation as citizens and made irrelevant their states of birth as a considered factor. This vacated the effects of the Dred Scott decision (in re: slavery). This also dissolved the right to abridge or deny rights, privileges and due process. Never was it noted to be ratified to allow the insurgency of illegal alien civil and/or criminal law breakers we see today.
During the Slaughterhouse Cases of 1873 the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled the civil rights and stated liberties of citizens resided under the control and domain of state law. I addition the original author of the amendment Senator Jacob Howard said:
“this will not…include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers.” This in turn was bolstered by Senator Edward Cowan when he said:
“a foreigner in the United States has a right to the protection of the laws, but he is not a citizen in the ordinary acceptance of the word…”
(next we’ll examine the orchard needing pruning)
