.


See Bill Would Punish Sanctuary City Officials For Protecting Illegals



”Indiana Republican Rep. Todd Rokita has introduced a bill to punish elected officials in sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with federal officials in enforcing U.S. immigration laws.
Rokita told Fox News that the bill will levy up to $1 million fines and up to five year imprisonment against such authorities.”


Thank you Representative Rokita for applying the spirit of 8 U.S. Code § 1324 - "Bringing in and harboring certain aliens" to lawless officials who intentionally work to conceal, harbor, and/or shield from detection, or attempt to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, illegal entrants, especially illegal entrants known to have engaged in criminal conduct.


For the uniformed, SEE: 8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens


(A)Any person who—


(iii)knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;


(II)aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts,
shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax slaves and forced to finance the personal economic needs of millions of foreigners who have invaded America’s borders.

MAKE IT EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY!

DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE CHURCHES WHO ARE HARBORING AND PROVIDING SANCTUARY TO CRIMINAL TRESPASSING ILLEGAL ALIENS!

CHURCHES ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAWS OF OUR LAND!

THEY ARE MEN, NO BETTER, NO WORSE THAN THE AVERAGE CITIZEN AND THESE CHURCHES MUST OBEY OUR LAWS!

STOP GIVING CHURCHES ONE BILLION OF OUR TAXPAYER MONEY FACILTATING THEIR HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND DUMPING REFUGEES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS! SHUT THIS DOWN NOW!

SEE: UNITED STATES v. ZHENG, United States Court of Appeals,Eleventh Circuit, 2002

"In considering this appeal, we first examine the language of the statute at issue.  “As with any question of statutory interpretation, we begin by examining the text of the statute to determine whether its meaning is clear.”  Lewis v. Barnhart, 285 F.3d 1329, 1331 (11th Cir.2002);  see also Merritt v. Dillard Paper Co., 120 F.3d 1181, 1185 (11th Cir.1997) (“In construing a statute we must begin, and often should end as well, with the language of the statute itself.”).   The Appellees assert that the language of § 1324 restricts its application to individuals who are in the business of smuggling illegal aliens into the United States for employment or those who employ illegal aliens in “sweatshops.”   We disagree.  Section 1324 applies to “[a]ny person” who knowingly harbors an illegal alien.   Although § 1324 and § 1324a appear to cover some of the same conduct, “the fact that Congress has enacted two sections encompassing similar conduct but prescribing different penalties does not compel a conclusion that one statute was meant to limit, repeal, or affect enforcement of the other.”  United States v. Kim, 193 F.3d 567, 573 (2d Cir.1999).   The Supreme Court has noted that statutes may “overlap” or enjoy a “partial redundancy,” United States v. Batchelder, 442 U.S. 114, 118, 99 S.Ct. 2198, 2201, 60 L.Ed.2d 755 (1979), and yet be “fully capable of coexisting.”  Id. at 122, 99 S.Ct. at 2203.   We agree with the Second Circuit's analysis of §§ 1324 and 1324a that “nothing in the language of these two sections ․ preclude[s] their coexistence.”  Kim, 193 F.3d at 573.   The plain language of § 1324 does not limit its reach to certain specific individuals, and thus, the Government properly charged the Appellees with violating this statute."



The irrefutable fact is, any public servant who has taken an oath to uphold the laws of the United States, who “conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection” can be prosecuted under 8 U.S. § 1324 (a)

It’s time for the Trump Administration to go after public servants who flout the law and make an example of at least one of these lawless SOBs.

See Judge Harry Leinenweber’s OPINION which confirms that State political elected hacks such Mayor Rahm Emanuel and New York City’s communist mayor Bill de Blasio, are forbidden to compel city law enforcement officers from the voluntary exchange of immigration information with the INS!


Judge Harry Leinenweber wrote:

”At its core, this case boils down to whether state and local governments can restrict their officials from voluntarily cooperating with a federal scheme. The Court has not been presented with, nor could it uncover, any case holding that the scope of state sovereignty includes the power to forbid state or local employees from voluntarily complying with a federal program. “

and…


”The Court denies the City’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction with respect to the compliance condition, because the City has failed to establish a likelihood of success on the merits.“


Jefferson Sessions get off your butt, grow a spine, have arrest warrants issued and send forth federal Marshals to sanctuary cities and arrest elected politicians and their accomplices for using their office of public trust to actively engage in a conspiracy to promote the harboring of illegal entrants.
