Federal Immigration & Nationality Act Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)
READ ..then REPORT!

"Any person who . . . encourages or induces an alien to . . . reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . . . residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided . . . for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . . fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."

Section 274 FELONIES under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):

A person (INCLUDING a group of persons, business, organization, OR local government) commits a Federal FELONY when she or he:

* ASSISTS an alien s/he should ‘reasonably’ know is ILLEGALLY in the U.S. OR who lacks employment authorization, BY transporting, sheltering, OR assisting him or her to obtain employment, OR

* ENCOURAGES that alien to REMAIN in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer OR by acting as employer OR agent for an employer in ANY way, OR

* KNOWINGLY assists illegal aliens due to ‘personal’ convictions.

Penalties upon conviction INCLUDE criminal fines, imprisonment, AND forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime. ANYONE employing OR contracting with an illegal alien WITHOUT verifying his or her work authorization status IS guilty of a misdemeanor. Aliens AND employers violating [im]migration laws ARE subject to arrest, detention, AND seizure of their vehicles OR property. In ADDITION, individuals OR entities who engage in ‘racketeering enterprises’ that commit (OR conspire to commit) [im]migration-related Felonies ARE subject to private civil suits for treble damages AND injunctive relief.

Recruitment and Employment of Illegal Aliens

It is unlawful to HIRE an alien, to RECRUIT an alien, OR to REFER an alien for a fee, knowing the alien is unauthorized to work in the United States. It is EQUALLY unlawful to CONTUNUE to employ an alien knowing that the alien is unauthorized to work. Employers may give preference in recruitment AND hiring to a U.S. citizen OVER an alien with work authorization only where the U.S. citizen ‘is equally or better’ qualified.

It is unlawful to HIRE an individual for employment in the United States WITHOUT complying with employment eligibility VERIFICATION requirements. Requirements INCLUDE examination of identity documents AND completion of Form I-9 for EVERY employee hired. Employers MUST retain ALL I-9s, AND, with three days' advance notice, the forms MUST be made available for inspection.

Employment INCLUDES ANY service OR labor performed for ANY type of remuneration within the United States, with the exception of sporadic domestic service by an individual in a private home. ‘Day laborers’ OR other casual workers engaged in ANY compensated activity (with the above exception) ARE employees for purposes of [im]migration law. An ‘employer’ INCLUDES an agent OR anyone acting directly OR indirectly in the interest of the employer. For purposes of verification of authorization to work, employer ALSO means an independent contractor, OR a contractor other than the person using the alien labor. The use of temporary OR short-term contracts CANNOT be used to circumvent the employment authorization verification requirements. If employment is to be for less than the usual three days allowed for completing the I-9 Form requirement, the form MUST be completed IMMEDIATELY at the time of hire.

An employer HAS ‘constructive knowledge’ that an employee IS an illegal unauthorized worker if a reasonable person would infer it from the FACTS. Constructive knowledge constituting a violation of Federal law has been found where (1) the I-9 employment eligibility form has NOT been properly completed, INCLUDING supporting documentation, (2) the employer HAS learned from other individuals, media reports, OR ANY source of information available to the employer that the alien is unauthorized to work, OR (3) the employer acts with ‘reckless disregard’ FOR the legal consequences of PERMITTING a ‘third party’ to provide OR introduce an illegal alien into the employer's work force. Knowledge CANNOT be inferred solely on the basis of an individual's ‘accent’ or ‘foreign appearance’.

Actual ‘specific knowledge’ is NOT required. For example, a newspaper article stating that “ballrooms ‘depend’ on an illegal alien work force of dance hostessesâ€

Good law! Who do you suppose we can get to enforce it?

The first person is jail should be Bush, then all senators, congressmen and then their employers.

Hold on a minute there...the employers....that's us

Ha! The employers who hire the illegals. I already feel I am in a Mexican jail.

Sorry Paige...I couldn't resist...

Well we could all leave messages that we have seen them in Walmart, Home Depot, Wendy's McDonalds, Applebee's ect ect and we want these illegal employers arrested today. We don't need to give them times to be able to catch them. They can arrest them 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
This can't be any simpler.

What difference does it make what laws we have? King George and his court rule the land.

Very true. None of the laws are being followed anyway. I guess one more does not matter.

*State AND local law enforcement officials HAVE the general power to investigate AND arrest violators of ‘federal’ [im]migration statutes WITHOUT prior INS knowledge or approval, as long as they are ‘authorized to do so’ by state law. There is NO extant federal LIMITATION on this authority. The 1996 [im]migration control legislation passed by Congress was intended to encourage states AND local agencies to participate in the process of ENFORCING ‘Federal’ [im]migration laws.

So much for their argument that only feds can enforce the laws. Do anybody ever read this stuff? All I ever hear is that it's a federal only area and people need to keep a copy of this on them and whip it out to shut them up. I'm sick of reading "we don't have the authority to ask people about their immigration status."

Immigration officers AND local law enforcement officers MAY DETAIN an individual for a brief WARRANTLESS interrogation where circumstances create a ‘reasonable suspicion’ that the individual is illegally present in the U.S. Specific FACTS constituting a reasonable suspicion INCLUDE evasive, nervous, OR erratic behavior; dress OR SPEECH indicating ‘foreign citizenship’; AND presence ‘in an area known’ to contain a concentration of illegal aliens.

This would make racial profile extremely hard to prove and it would seem that this would give local officers the authority to go after day laborers, because it's a known fact that most of them are illegal.
