Prosecute. I don't care if he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Vargas parlayed his illegally obtained identification documents into a job at the Washinton Post. He writes he confided in a superior, Peter Perl, who allowed him to continue working at the Post as an illegal alien in violation of the law.

Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)

"Any person who . . . encourages or induces an illegal 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 illegal 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 illegal 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 illegal 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 immigration 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) immigration-related felonies are subject to private civil suits for treble damages and injunctive relief.

I am beginning to think the way to deal with these criminal illegal immigrants is to put them into a deportation facility, and award a visa to someone who wants to come here legally to take the criminal's place. Then make the criminal wait until their legal replacement arrives, and treat it like a prisoner exchange.

The psychological impact of someone else taking one's place should leave a lasting impact.

The requirement for entering the White House is to hand over a piece of paper that is shaped rectangularly.

Preferably with a picture of Benjamin Franklin on it?

Can we trade Obama for Vaclav Klaus ?

[ken5050]

I can’t believe that the USSS didn’t pick this up. I suspect they brought it to the attention of someone in the WH, and were overridden..IOW..told to let the guy in..

[RavenATB]

Imagine if Breitbart had conspired to sneek an illegal into the White House to conduct a “mission” friendly to a conservative cause.

The Texas Legislature has taken up a bill in special session that would help enforce immigration laws and ban sanctuary cities.

Part of the bill addresses illegals obtaining drivers licenses. They must show proof of citizenship to get a Lic.

I just renewed mine, as many hoops the DMV makes one jump through, how in Sam Hell did illegals ever get a drivers lic.?

We also have motor/voter in Texas. As you go through the process of getting or renewing your lic, the state ask if you'd like to register to vote.......now, think about it.

Texas was allowing illegals (somehow) to get drivers licenses and register to vote....nice, how freakin nice.

I can think of a few crimes besides breaking into the country illegally. How’z bout fraud, perjury, forgery, possession and use of stolen documents and on and on.

Man this pisses me off.

The Secret Service has decided that its ineptitude can be overcome by adding more personnel. One day soon you will not be able to see the President as the mass of agents that surround our leader will completely hide the fearless factotum.

I, too, came from the Philippines. But my Lolo, who came to the U.S. in 1929 and put himself to college working as a dishwasher and seasonal farm hand, did it the right way - he promptly filed a petition for all his children and grandchildren to come to the U.S. as soon as he got his naturalization paper.

I say DEPORT the SOB. And the newspaper ought to be condemned for perpetuating another lie.

This crap will eventually lead to reverse lawlessness Enough people will get their fill and say screw it.

[Eldon Tyrell]

Now we get to find out if the laws we have are enforced equitably.

This is chain of command at Wapo.

[khnyny]

I agree, but it’s not just the President that this person had access to, but other heads of state as well. Imho, a security nightmare. Heads should roll on this one...

[Keith in Iowa]

Is he a registered Democrat? How many times has he voted?

[Jeff Chandler]

Now we get to find out if the laws we have are enforced equitably.

Oh my, how naive. Silly peasant, laws are for Republicans.

“I’m not impressed with the Secret Service, allowing an illegal in the White House.”

****

The Kenyan or the reporter?

[Mr. K]

THROW THIS F@$^% IN JAIL ~!

[Tzimisce]

...how come only white, middle class, tax paying Americans have to obey the law anymore?

Our government is racistly discriminating against the very people it’s supposed to be serving.

But that’s “social justice” in Obamaland. :(

I had the same experience in Washington State. When I moved up the first thing I did was go to DMV. I had trouble coming up with enough proofs of residency because they wouldn’t accept the contract on a $400,000 house as proof I was planning on living in the state. They were reluctant to accept my Navy Reserve page 2 listing my residency as Washington. While I was going around and around with the douche from DMV, the line next to me was serving exclusively spanish only speakers who were all trading in Oregon licenses for Washington licenses. That line seemed to go extremely fast and none of them were showing any extra documents.
