Illegal conundrums (William F. Buckley)
Townhall.com ^ | 4/11/06 | William F. Buckley Jr.

Posted on 04/12/2006 5:15:08 AM PDT by blitzgig

Democratic protocols get pretty elusive these days. In an attempt to sort it all out, we hovered for a moment on a wild idea. Why not send the illegals to France? But delirious ideas have short lives, as they should have, and one seeks to learn from experience. We begin today by saying that, in France, the mobs don't exactly rule, but they seem to have a veto power. The utter capitulation of President Chirac disgraces him, his party, French democratic processes and economic common sense.

-snip-

But just to round up 11 million-plus illegals presents a logistical problem of the first magnitude. Who would undertake that job? How many sleuths would be required in order absolutely to establish that this person's papers are fraudulent, that other one's valid? The undertaking would be dismaying and, conceivably, an asymptotic killer.

We can't predict what kind of a bill the Senate will come in with, after staring on television at the crowds who pledge themselves to life in America. But the challenge of mass deportations has got to play a role in our deliberations. One practical reform that we do have the power to enact is to repeal the provision in the 14th Amendment which confers citizenship on anyone born on U.S. soil. And then, laws are everywhere required to take sterner measures against voting by non-citizens. If we are going to be ruled by the mob, the mob should not show up with phony credentials.

Wisdom from W. Buckley. Now if only our politicians would listen to a conservative instead of a liberal.

Anyone hear that the illegals have caused a mumps epidemic?

Buckley makes the task of deportation overwhelming.

It is not.

All we have to do is enforce our laws against employers.

Or sharpen that law to include the officers of the companies giving the illegals financial refuge.

If there is no place to work, there is no incentive to come here.

Fine employers for hireing them.

Make it as felony, jail them, and put them to work on the wall.

Cut off all benefits.

Sieze assets of illegals and deport them with just the clothes on their back.

No jobs, no benefits, no assets, chance of jail...

It won't take long for most to self-deport.

FREEPER ACTIVISM------REPORT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND REGULATORY AGENCIES ONLY



FREEPER ACTIVISM Publicly-held companies engaged in activities----hiring illegals----are violating their fiducoary duties. Remember, the SEC wants to know if publicly-held companies, their execs and Board of Directors put shareholders' investments at risk - either by utilizing risky short-term wage gains, or violating accounting laws with regard to Sarbanes-Oxley. Fraudulent filings or not filing with the IRS could also play a huge part in this. EMAIL your concerns to enforcement@SEC.gov


FREEPER ACTIVISM: Every civic-minded citizen who is aware of municipalities and duly elected officials encouraging ILLEGALS to break the law, to unlawfully vote using fraudulent documentation, aiding and abetting lawbreaking, and/or enabling felonious activity should report to the proper law enforcement authorities.

FREEPER ACTIVISM: Aiding and abetting lawbreaking, and enabling felonious activity should be reported. If your state and town's elected and appointed officials are misusing tax funds for illegal purposes, investors and holders of tax-exempt bonds for transportation and highways, municipal school bonding, utilities bonding,
and the like, have been placed in financial jeopardy. The SEC should be advised of yours, and bondholders, concerns. EMAIL enforcement@SEC.gov






FREEPER ACTIVISM: If municipalities advertising and using ballot referenda for tax-exempt municipal, transportation and highway bonds, municipal school bonding, utilities bonding, and the like, are ignorsing illegal voting practices, are aiding and abetting illegals activities, and ignoring fraudulent documentation, they are violating their fiduciary responsibility and engaging in felonious activity. They could be held criminally liable. The SEC should be advised of your concerns. EMAIL enforcement@SEC.gov.

FREEPER ACTIVISM: If the bonding agents for tax-exempt municipal transportation and highways, municipal school bonding, utilities bonding, and the like, are
ignoring illgal activities, the SEC should be advised of your concerns. EMAIL enforcement@SEC.gov.

FREEPER ACTIVISM Most bonding agents conducting municipal business are registered broker-dealers and members of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). NASD and SIPC should also be contacted regarding your concerns about illegal activity.


FREEPER ACTIVISM Banks doing bonding business with states and municipalities that are conducting illegal activity are violatuing their fiduciary duties, and jeopardizing bank patrons, shareholders, and depositors and should be reported as follows:

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is the primary federal regulator for national banks. The OCC's Customer Assistance Group is available to assist customers with questions or complaints concerning national banks. Email to Customer.Assistance@occ.treas.gov.

General information about the Customer Assistance Group is available at the web site: http://www.occ.treas.gov/customer.htm.


FREEPER ACTIVISM

If duly elected officials are encouraging ILLEGALS to break the law, to obtain the unlawful right to vote using fraudulent documentation, and if elected and appointed officals did, in fact, allow illegals to break the law to serve on municipal councils, and if illegals are making monetary (taxing) decisions for U.S. Citizens,
this might be a violation of the Hobbs Act......


If elected and appointed officials took campaign contributions from said illegals, this could be characterized as extortion, and/or bribery, and a violation of the Hobbs Act. The Hobbs Act was used recently to nail four Tenn state legislators and their aids in an extortion scheme. The TENN groups was arrested under the federal Hobbs Act, charging extortion, conspiracy to extort and attempted extortion, and accepting bribes by an agent of the state.


The Hobbs Act covers extortion by public officials, as follows: 2403 Hobbs Act -- Extortion By Force, Violence, or Fear. In order to prove a violation of Hobbs Act extortion by the wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear...............

I agree with this whole-heartedly.
