Was it the legislative intent of our asylum laws to allow the poverty stricken, poorly educated, low skilled and criminal populations of other countries to flood into the United States en mass, and to a degree, which predictably threatens the general welfare of the United States?


And why is this question important? It is important when a court is faced with answering if the existing conditions legally require the United States to accept onto our soil, with open arms, the current “caravan” wave of foreigners under our asylum laws?


And with regard to “legislative intent”, our Supreme Court, in Hawaii v. Mankichi, 190 U.S. 197 (1903), notes the absolute requirement to observe the intention of the lawmakers:


”But there is another question underlying this and all other rules for the interpretation of statutes, and that is what was the intention of the legislative body? Without going back to the famous case of the drawing of blood in the streets of Bologna, the books are full of authorities to the effect that the intention of the lawmaking power will prevail even against the letter of the statute; or, as tersely expressed by Mr. Justice Swayne in 90 U.S. 380 :

"A thing may be within the letter of a statute and not within its meaning, and within its meaning, though not within its letter. The intention of the lawmaker is the law."


The bottom line is, should our Constitution and laws made in pursuit thereof be construed by the Court in such a manner as to create a "suicide pact" for the citizens of the United States? Or, should the Court observe a fundamental rule of constitutional construction and adhere to “legislative intent”?


Keep in mind the social and economic impact which unbridled immigration is now having on the citizens of the United States. For example, it is now costing American taxpayers over $18 BILLION a year simply to provide healthcare to undocumented entrants, not to mention the social costs, such as the destruction of many of our public schools and outright crime, which uncontrolled immigration has inflicted upon the citizens of the United States.


So, was it the legislative intent of our asylum laws to allow the poverty stricken, poorly educated, low skilled and criminal populations of other countries to flood into the United States en mass, and to a degree, which predictably threatens the general welfare of the United States?.

The whole aim of construction, as applied to a provision of the Constitution, is to discover the meaning, to ascertain and give effect to the intent of its framers and the people who adopted it._____HOME BLDG. & LOAN ASS’N v. BLAISDELL, 290 U.S. 398 (1934)
