Illegal: forbidden by law or statute

The outlaws in Congress are gearing up for a new amnesty push to reward criminals for breaking our laws by smuggling themselves into our country, stealing our jobs and draining resources (medical, education, law enforcement). Ethically bankrupt individuals like Sens. Harry Reid, Juan McCain and Reps. Joe Baca and Luis Gutierrez will be the ring leaders in this upcoming battle.

Political correctness and outright cowardice in dealing with the invasion of close to 20 MILLION illegal aliens, regardless of country of origin, has brought nothing but misery and pain to this nation. It hasn't mattered one bit to these professional politicians that the word illegal means forbidden by law.

It hasn't mattered one bit to federal judges who have ruled that criminals who break our laws have some sort of "right" to free health care, free education and other financial benefits paid for by the sweat of your labor. Those federal judges should have been impeached by Congress. Instead, their rulings have wrecked havoc on our people and nation while Congress has sat on their corrupt backsides and done nothing.

But, what about state legislators who have voted to give these criminals driver's licenses so they can work? Remember what the usurper in the White House, Obama/Soetoro said, "When I was a state senator in Illinois, I voted to require that illegal aliens get trained, get a license, get insurance to protect public safety. That was my intention. The problem we have here is not driver's licenses. Undocumented workers do not come here to drive. They're here to work."

They're here to work? They have no right to even be in this country, much less help themselves to jobs that belong to Americans. Comrade Obama wants to reward them by stealing the fruits of your labor to train them, give them driver's licenses and steal American jobs. This is the morally bankrupt individual people voted for to bring "change" and "hope." Marxist Obama brought more of the same and worse. Juan McCain stands right next to him on this issue.

This rot has seeped into the state houses as well. Four states of the Union allow these criminals to have driver's licenses: Hawaii, New Mexico, Washington and Utah. Those state legislatures are aiding and abetting criminals who have violated federal laws. Those legislators and the governors have signaled loud and clear that it's a good thing to reward those who break the law and rub it in our faces. What happens when an illegal with a Utah driver's license hits and kills an American citizen in San Diego and then skips across the border? Are we then supposed to thank Utah's legislature for the carnage they let loose?

At a time when unemployment is running at 17 million out of work and 37.2 million on food stamps, those MILLIONS of jobs held by illegal aliens should be going to Americans:

Illegals build F-22 hangers on Air Force base

Real good for national security. And, don't try to feed me the horse crap that illegals do jobs Americans won't:

1,200 Illegal Workers Fired in Minnesota. "First of all, it is clear that illegal aliens are, indeed, doing the work Americans and lawful immigrants very much want to do. The fact that when 1,200 illegal aliens were fired as a result of a field investigation conducted by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) all of those jobs were quickly filled, presumably by United States citizens and lawful immigrants. This makes it abundantly clear that as I noted in a recent commentary, "A job freed up by removing an illegal foreign worker creates a job for an American worker."

How about the citizens of Nevada - a state on the brink of financial collapse?

No. Of Illegal Aliens On Welfare Doubles In Nevada. There is no such thing as an "anchor baby." It is hogwash that must be stopped. Legal research on Fourteenth Amendment is in this file. "It is clear the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment had no intention of freely giving away American citizenship to just anyone simply because they may have been born on American soil. Again, we are fortunate enough to have on the record the highest authority tell us, Sen. Lyman Trumbull, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee… and the one who inserted the phrase."

Should this surprise anyone? Rewarding criminals only brings more:

"A new survey by Zogby International finds that people in Mexico think that granting legal status to illegal immigrants in the United States would encourage more illegal immigration to the United States....A clear majority of people in Mexico, 56 percent, thought giving legal status to illegal immigrants in the United States would make it more likely that people they know would go to the United States illegally."

Can anything be done? The now discredited, hypocrite Lou Dobbs, brought something out on his show years ago which I wrote about:

Should Officials of the FDIC be Prosecuted?

"The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is encouraging banks to sign up illegal aliens in the banking system, calling the growth of the market "a compelling incentive for U.S. banks to enter this largely untapped market." And the FDIC program demonstrates that unbanked Latin American immigrants can be brought into the financial mainstream.

"But there are clear laws on the books for the integrity of the immigration system. United States criminal code, "It is a crime punishable by 10 years in jail for aiding and abetting someone in this country illegally for commercial gain." And the Bank Secrecy Act of 1972 makes it clear banks must know their customer, and any illegal activity must be reported to the government."

"The FDIC, this "independent" government operation is knowingly and willfully encouraging their organization and its employees to break the law and they are openly and blatantly violating federal immigration law."

No one is above the law, so why are these state legislators getting away with passing laws that reward criminals and thumb their noses at our immigration laws?

Are state legislators given immunity to break federal laws? I say no, they should be held accountable. How many state legislators have voted for laws to allow illegal aliens to attend state colleges - at the expense of taxpayers in those states? It's sickening. Illegal alien students, regardless of country of origin, have no "right" to attend any school in this country. They suck the fruits of your labor while you struggle to help your child with college expenses. Just because these individuals are elected to a state legislature does not give them carte blanche to simply violate federal laws. I'm not a lawyer, but someone show me where it says state legislators can simply break federal laws without any legal consequences?

I did some research on this and found:

"Section 274 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which provides criminal penalties for any act that "encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law." [2]

"Encourage" and "induce" include actions that permit illegal aliens to be more confident that they could continue to reside with impunity in the United States, or actions that offer illegal aliens "a chance to stand equally with all other American citizens." [3]

"To prove that a state or local government agency "encouraged or induced" illegal Mexican aliens, all the government needs to establish is that the agency knowingly helped or advised the aliens, or emboldened them, or made them more confident in their continued illegal residence in the United States. [4]

"The courts have held that INA §274 is to be broadly construed both as to those persons subject to criminal liability under the statute, [5] and as to the types of activities covered therein. [6]"

By giving illegal aliens driver's licenses, those state legislators have encouraged illegals to come to, enter and reside in the U.S. in violation of the law. Those state legislators have "emboldened them" and have made illegals more "confident" in their continued illegal residence in the U.S.

Where is the Federal Department of Justice? They are supposed to ensure federal laws are enforced and when violated, go after the lawbreakers. Well, the answer to that question is simple: The DOJ has become so politicized, the Attorney General (past and present) does what his/her masters tells them and we the people suffer. Eric Holder should have been indicted for obstruction of justice. Instead, he's Obama's top lap dog.

Make no mistake: The battle to reward illegal aliens for breaking into our country, stealing jobs and drowning us in crime is about to heat up once the outlaws come back from their Christmas recess. We defeated these lawbreakers in Congress before and we must do it again.

There should also be a loud outcry by the people of those four states to their U.S. Attorney (which has jurisdiction over their area) to indict every single member of those four state legislatures who voted to give illegal aliens driver's licenses. Silence is not an option. My daughter is a victim of illegal aliens driving on our roads and highways. Don't think your family member won't be next. The actions of those legislators and Congress has spread now to a college professor who should be charged under Section 274:

"Ricardo Dominguez, a University of California, San Diego tenured visual arts professor and activist, designed the Transborder Immigrant Tool, an application much like a global-positioning system used in cars, to help illegals find the best locations for food, water and groups to assist them as they sneak into America."

Hey, if Congress condones and supports illegals as well as state legislatures, why not a college professor aiding and abetting? If you live in California, that dirt bag's salary is paid for by the fruits of your labor. Here's more insanity:

S.F. to ease up on unlicensed drivers. "Beginning Sunday, cops will no longer impound cars the first time drivers are pulled over without a license. The reason: Many such drivers are in the United States illegally - and thus unable to get a license - and the officials pushing the change think that impounding their cars is an unfair hardship."

An "unfair hardship"? These are illegal aliens who have violated federal immigration law and should be deported immediately. Live in San Francisco? I won't even visit that city any more.

In 2010, the people of Utah, Washington, New Mexico and Hawaii should drown out the militant pro-illegals organizations and push to boot out any legislator who voted to reward illegal aliens. If you live in one of those states and your state legislator (rep or senator) voted to reward illegals, make it a campaign issue and work to get them thrown out of office. The same applies to so-called sanctuary cities. Throw out mayors like Gavin Newsom (SF) and restore the rule of law and order.

I have no sympathy for illegal aliens. They need to be picked up and deported whether they've been here five minutes, five years or fifteen years:

ALTOONA-- "Miguel Padilla, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, visited Altoona one night and murdered three people after being denied admission to a social club.
He had been in the United States for 17 years and had accumulated an arrest record before he shot his victims."

Three lives taken and all the family members who will grieve the rest of their lives. THIS is what supporters of amnesty and those state legislators condone and support. I've heard the bleeding heart rhetoric that most illegals are "good" people who just want to come here and work. Good people don't deliberately dump in our face by smuggling themselves across our borders when they know it's against the law. Good people respect the laws of other nations, not break them. Good people don't set out to steal someone else's job when they have no legal right to that job.

Illegals know when they sneak across our borders like theives in the night, they have no legal right to be in our country. And, just like any other criminal, they should not rewarded. You don't get to go home and gather your belongings or anything else. You're arrested, thrown in lock up and then deported. Too bad what you have to leave behind. Had this been done decades ago (after Ronald Reagan signed the 1986 law which opened the flood gates), we wouldn't have this problem on such a grand scale.

This is what state legislators and members of Congress who support amnesty want to reward:

They Died For "Cheap" Labor: "Employers of America: the blood and suffering of innocents is on your hands because you want cheap labor. How cheap are the lives of the above and the tens of thousands of others who have suffered because of this massive, unchecked invasion? Does your bottom line feel good, now? Will you go to church on Sunday and then hob nob outside after services feeling warm and fuzzy while you have been knowingly violating federal immigration laws which has led to so much death and suffering?

"Did you save so much money hiring illegals that you own a nice boat and can be a big shot with the boys or yuk it up on the golf course a few extra days a week? The same goes for every member of Congress, the four border governors and all the state legislatures who have allowed themselves to be bribed by big business and turned a blind eye for three decades. How does "cheap labor" feel now?"

You think rewarding them with legal driver's licenses is going to "fix" the problem?

Vote out all state legislators in 2010 who have voted for giving illegals driver's licenses and college tuition. Don't forget Ohio as a major offender: Ohio Panders To Illegal Immigrants. All to get votes from one ethnic group while their citizens who are natural born or legal immigrants stand in unemployment lines.

Those elected officials should also be charged under Section 274. Perhaps some of the great immigration groups out there can check with their lawyers to see about pursuing this so that a clear message is sent to all of them: You cannot break the law just because you're an elected official.

And, you wonder why our hospitals are going bust and health care costs continue to rise? This is epidemic (short video): Testimony of illegal alien care from 1 Florida hospital

$Billions spent incarcerating criminal aliens. "For the 5 states incarcerating about 80 percent of these criminal aliens in fiscal year 2003, about 68 percent incarcerated in mid-year 2004 reported that the country of citizenship or country of birth as Mexico, the Dominican Republic, or Cuba. Four of these 5 states spent about $1.6 billion to incarcerate criminal aliens reimbursed through SCAAP during fiscal years 2002 and 2003." Just a bunch of "good" people looking for work.

America's forgotten: Previously Deported Illegal Alien Murders Pre-Med Student in Drunk Driving Incident. Ryan Ostendorf, 28 years old. Seventeen members of Ryan’s family, many friends and co-workers attended the trial. Many of them sobbed as the jury convicted Anzua-Torres of second-degree murder in the Shawnee County District Court. Meagan spoke at the sentencing hearing, saying Ryan was her “soul mate and the love of my life.”

The on-going slaughter on our roads and highways is the direct fault of every Congress and president since Ronald Reagan, and now state legislatures who coddle and reward illegal aliens. If you think you or loved one won't be the next victim, you're in denial of reality.
