HR 4437 Enforcement vs. Amnesty ~ The Big Lie

By Daneen G. Peterson, Ph.D.

May 17, 2006

A woman who worked at a homeless shelter wanted to know if she would go to jail for helping the homeless if HR 4437 became law. She had read the article Catholic Church & Charities ~ Preach and Practice Sedition in which Cardinal Mahony seditiously calls for defiance of HR 4437 if enacted and spoke about Cardinal McCarrick and the Catholic bishops who regularly engage in 'aiding and abetting' illegal aliens, which is a felony.(1) The woman found the information useful but it didn't answer one important question for her. She wanted to know if they would be doing something illegal once HR 4437 was enacted. She wondered "if we are going to be arrested, for TEMPORARILY housing, clothing and feeding illegal immigrants. Now, we do not ask our clients (the homeless men) if they can provide proof of citizenship . . . we simply try our best to accommodate those who come to the shelter seeking help."

Cardinal McCarrick

"Can you help me understand (I know nothing of reading legal documents and am having a hard time getting through 300 pages [actually only 30 pages] of HR 4437) . . . if this is going to effect us (the shelter)? Will we be breaking the law by not turning clients away or not asking for proof of citizenship? We believe citizenship is irrelevant . . . Can we go on believing this?"

The answer is that being a citizen IS irrelevant in providing services. Whether a person is here LEGALLY, is the issue. Legally includes those who are approved by our government to be here -- either by obtaining a visitor, school or work visa, or having permanent resident status and holding a green card. These people ALL have government provided documents saying they are here legally. The first clue that you need to ask for those legal documents is that they don't speak English since most of the people that come here illegally don't speak English.

HR 4437 Is Only The Beginning . . . NOT The END!

There are currently at least 23 million illegal aliens occupying our country today. According to John McCain . . . 10,000 more A DAY are entering America.(2) Of those 23 million illegaIs, 90% are mostly Catholic Hispanics, 65% of whom originate from Mexico. These are the illegal alien 'migrants' or 'immigrants,' that the Catholic Church and Charities 'aids and abets.' One does wonder if 23 million Hindus or Muslims or Jews were to illegally invade America would the Catholic Church still be loudly advocating for 'Welcoming the Stranger' and 'Justice for [illegal alien] Immigrants'?(3-9)

The mere fact that 65% those illegal aliens are Mexicans (approximately 13 million) represents a demographic FACT that is prima facie evidence indicating that we are engaged in a de facto 'war' with Mexico. An asymmetric war by invasion and colonization that has been maliciously and deviously waged by Mexico for more than two decades against our sovereign nation. During that time, the Catholic Church has functioned as a 'fifth column' by facilitating our enemies and seditiously 'aiding and abetting' their presence in America.(10)

Adding to that insanity is the FACT that there is NO enforcement of our immigration laws. When is the last time you heard of a business owner being fined for employing illegal aliens? Forget about the 2005 Wal-Mart Sub-contractor bust because it was done strictly for show! Did you know that there were 178 employer sanctions in 2000, 100 in 2001, 53 in 2002, 162 in 2003 and only THREE employers received sanction notices of intent to fine in 2004.(11)(12) Is there anyone who believes that there were FEWER businesses employing illegals in 2004 than in 2000?

The 'People's House' Created HR 4437 Because "Congress finds the following . . .

A primary duty of the federal Government is to secure the homeland and ensure the safety of United States citizens and lawful residents. . . . The failure to enforce immigration laws in the interior of the United States means that illegal aliens face little or no risk of apprehension or removal once they are in the country . . . There are numerous immigration laws that are currently not being enforced. Law enforcement officers are often discouraged from enforcing the law by superiors. It is the sense of Congress that the President, the Attorney General, Secretary of State and other Department Secretaries should immediately use every tool available to them to enforce the immigration laws of the United States, as enacted by Congress."(13) Ergo, HR 4437 is as follows:

Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act (HR 4437)(14)

Requires DHS to produce FULL implementation of US VISIT for tracking at every port of entry with interoperable with all other immigration-screening DHS systems including ALL ten fingerprints.

Eliminates Visa Lottery it randomly picks 50,000 people to enter legally simply by filing a form on a computer.

700 miles of double fence at major points of mass illegal entry so the trucks, buses and SUVs can't enter.

Using the Basic Pilot Program that REQUIRES ALL employers within two years to verify work eligibility for new hires by using the ALREADY EXISTING: Basic Pilot Program that cross checks SSN with names address, etc., and within 6 years ALL employees are to be screened by the program.

In 3 years all federal, state and local facilities and critical infrastructure MUST clear all employees using the Basic Pilot.

REQUIRES DHS to produce a TRAINING MANUAL to instruct state and local law enforcement in investigation, identification, apprehension, arrest, detention and transfer to federal custody of aliens.

REQUIRES DHS to do expedited removal of OTMs and convicted criminal illegal aliens.

Eliminates SCAAP funding for any state or locality with a sanctuary policy within the next two years.

US Custom and Immigration Service--National security become a priority and fight corruption inside USCIS.

REQUIRES the present Secretary of State, Secretary of DHS, and other Department Secretaries to immediately use every tool available to them to ENFORCE THE IMMIGRATION LAWS of the US as enacted by Congress.

How The 'People's House' Voted on HR 4437:

Does ANYONE see anything in the above list and issues that is wrongheaded, not needed, harsh, impracticable, inhumane, or unfair? It is an outrage that the wholesale open-door POLICIES, not law, of this administration and others has allowed this massive illegal alien invasion to cripple, divide and emasculate our country. HR 4437 is ONLY THE FIRST STEP in what needs to be done to right the wrongs of the outrageous condition of anarchy that America is being subjected to and . . . if you are not MAD AS HELL about it, you must not be paying attention, unconscious, or dead!

Caveat Emptor . . .

If you buy the propaganda that we NEED 23 illegal alien invaders to pick our lettuce and to 'do the jobs Americans won't do" . . . then you have been indoctrinated and duly brainwashed. You do understand that the minute they legalize the current crop of 23 MILLION illegal aliens who have illegally entered our country . . . that those illegals will IMMEDIATELY demand and probably get CHAIN MIGRATION for their extended FAMILIES!!! Then you will see 23 MILLION turn into 60 - 80 MILLION Hispanics competing for all manner of welfare benefits, public housing benefits, enlarging criminal MS-13 gangs, filling our jails, drunk drivers, higher taxes to pay for their education, taxpayer paid free 'emergency care' and on and on and on ad nauseam . . . not to mention encouraging even MORE illegal aliens to invade our country. Wake Up America!

One Facet of HR 4437 Involves the CURRENT Immigration Law on Employing Illegals . . .

Section 1324a. Unlawful employment of aliens:

(a) Making employment of unauthorized aliens unlawful
(1) In general . . . It is unlawful for a person or other entity -
(A) to hire, or to recruit or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States an alien knowing the alien is an unauthorized alien (as defined in subsection (h)(3) of this section) with respect to such employment, or . . . "(15)

(f) Criminal penalties and injunctions for pattern or practice violations
(1) Criminal penalty
Any person or entity which engages in a pattern or practice of violations of subsection (a)(1)(A) or (a)(2) of this section shall be fined not more than $3,000 for each unauthorized alien with respect to whom such a violation occurs, imprisoned for not more than six months for the entire pattern or practice, or both, notwithstanding the provisions of any other Federal law relating to fine levels.(15)

You should understand that the word 'knowing' in the above law is a loophole that allows thousands of illegal alien employers to accept ANY form of purchased, counterfeit, bogus, obviously fake documentation proffered by an illegal alien. Add to that the fact that the US Government has prosecuted MANY employers for looking too closely at that documentation as a violation of an employee's 'civil rights!' That's right, our government not ONLY doesn't enforce our immigration laws, it does the exact opposite and harasses employers who are applying due diligence in determining if the job applicant is legally able to work. Sickening isn't it?

There is a simple solution to the whole farce and that is the computerized system called "The Basic Pilot" for checking on a Social Security Number (SSN) along with a few basic questions for matching those numbers with the SSN database, which takes about 5 minutes of time to verify. BUT, it is NOT mandatory. It should be, but it is NOT. Why do you suppose that is? That is one of the GOOD things that will come out of HR 4437, is the REQUIREMENT for all employers to use the 'Basic Pilot' program of verification "providing confirmation of work authorization directly from the Social Security Administration (SSA) and/or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) . . . [that] takes the guesswork out of determining an employee's status, so that employers do not have to become quasi-immigration agents, making judgments regarding an applicant's immigration status that they are not qualified to make, and can be more confident of having a legal workforce."(16)

Of note . . . the non-descriptive name is quite unusual for a government project. Perhaps it was done for some nefarious reason? By the way . . . how does one 'clamor' for the use of the 'Basic Pilot' program which sounds like something connected to airplanes instead of an employee verification system for Social Security Numbers? Think about that!

One other interesting note about the above law is that, as you can see, the proper, legal term for an illegal entrant is 'alien.' According to our immigration laws the term immigrant is reserved for someone who is here legally. These two terms are definitions that have been part of our immigration law for more than 200 years. 'Undocumented immigrant' is a propaganda term. It is a government perpetuated euphemism used to obfuscate the truth that being here without legal permission is an illegal act by an alien. Thus they are NOT 'undocumented immigrants' which is a form of brain-washing propaganda perpetuated by the media and our government to this day.

As such . . . those who object to the lack of enforcement of our immigration laws and wide-open borders are called anti-immigrant which is simply more brain-washing propaganda. They are, of course, . . . anti-ILLEGAL alien and NOT anti-immigrant! The propaganda machine consisting of the TV, newspapers, magazines, radio, etc., is run by a handful of global elites who adhere to the Communist Manifesto in their quest for world domination. Who are those elites in control? Click on the link below at this reference number: (17)

Keep in mind ALWAYS that there is more propaganda spouted using the technique of OMISSION than by any other technique. Think . . . anti-[illegal] immigrant and [Communist] China. Why is that? Because it is much more difficult to detect the propaganda when it is missing than if you were able to see, hear or read it. Think about it. Diabolical, isn't it?

The Latest Propaganda Mantra: "Illegal Aliens Are NOT Criminals"

Perhaps you have heard the latest propaganda by the illegals and their supporters saying that they are 'not criminals.' Do you believe that? It is the latest 'sport' for the pro-illegal aliens groups, the media, and the One World Order (OWO) elites who want to see how many absurdities they can 'sell' you with their propaganda machine and get away with your swallowing it as the truth.

The simple truth is that they ARE criminals! If you commit a crime, you are a criminal. If you break our immigration laws by illegally entering our country, you have committed a crime and you are therefore a CRIMINAL! Do not let the media propaganda machine tell you it's not a crime to enter our country illegally. The propaganda meisters are LYING to you AGAIN! In fact it is already law that if you return a second time you have committed a felony offense.

Illegal aliens become criminals the minute they step over our borders or overstay their visas. If they continue to stay and work in the United States they have committed two more crimes. Illegal residence (residing), illegally working and compounded in many cases by illegally driving, often without registrations and insurance. It you commit a crime you are a CRIMINAL! What else would you be called?

Another Propaganda Buster: They Are NOT Coming Here for the Jobs!

In case you think they are coming just to feed and house their family, etc., think again. Not so, according to the Pew Hispanic Research.(18) Ninety-five percent (95%) are coming here because they have extended family ALREADY here. Listen to the illegal alien protesters as they march and chant 'la familia' (the family) and 'la raza' (the race). They are announcing the REAL reasons they are here. It is RACISM and FAMILY . . . NOT JOBS, that fosters and encourages the invasion of America.

Wake up, America, there will be EXPONENTIAL increases in the numbers of illegal aliens invading our country if amnesty is passed by the legislature. Here are some of the headlines reporting on that momentous 'propaganda buster' research, reported by the Pew Hispanic Center:

1. Most Mexican Immigrants [Illegal Aliens] in New Study [95%] Gave Up Jobs to Take Their Chances in U.S.(19)

2. Report disputes belief about jobless migrants [illegal aliens](20)

3. FAMILY, [why illegals chant about 'la familia'] better jobs pull Mexicans [illegal aliens] to USA(21)

4. Study: Illegal Immigrants Not Drawn by Jobs(22)

For the future of America . . . that means the more who come will beget MILLIONS upon MILLIONS more! That does NOT include the hundreds of thousands of 'anchor babies' they will produce and the MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of 'extended family' that will arrive through CHAIN MIGRATION to overload our schools, hospitals and jails.

Who's is REALLY Behind the Illegal Alien Marches and Walkouts?

If you think that the illegal alien protest rallies and school 'walkouts' were spontaneous eruptions, think again. They were carefully orchestrated by many, many people, who are SCAMs (socialists, communists, anarchists, and Marxists). They are groups and organizations that receive megabucks from unions, corporations and foundations and tacitly endorsed by our government who are One World Order (OWO), globalist elites bent on world domination espoused by the Communist Manifesto. You will find that all that you thought was insane and inexplicable about the illegal alien invasion can be clearly explained in this author's latest article titled: Illegal Alien Anarchy . . . Connecting the Dots! Just click on the URL below at reference number: (23)

"ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), a front for the communist/socialist Workers World Party, which was identified by former FBI Director Louis Freeh as a 'domestic terrorist group,' is behind the immigrant rallies taking place around the nation."(24) Hypocrisy reigns in the waving of the American flag as a foil against charges of anti-Americanism. Our flag is being used in mockery and dishonesty, as a shield against criticism and the discovery of the true story that the SCAMs (socialist, communist, anarchist, Marxist) are in fact the true organizers and financiers of those 'spontaneous marches!'(23)

"ANSWER provided logistics (signs) for the immigrant rally in L.A. on March 25. [And] ANSWER claims credit for organizing that rally."(23)(24)(25)

There would not have been a single American flag flying in these marches if the communist organizers hadn't forced the duped Hispanic participants to fly them in order to avoid angering the American citizenry.

Do You Constantly Shake Your Head and Ask . . . Why . . . Why . . . Why?

Don't you ask yourself why our government has allowed millions of illegal aliens and their supporters flout their illegalities in our streets and make demands for 'rights' they are not entitled to claim? The reason for the 'hands off' by our government is because there are many in our government who are 'global elites' who believe in a One World Order (OWO) and who EMBRACE the tenets of the 'Communist Manifesto.'

They have infiltrated our government at ALL levels. They are members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) who publicly announced last summer (2005) that they plan to eliminate our borders by 2010, thus eliminating our sovereignty and ignoring our Bill of Rights, our Constitution. They plan to end ALL our laws and our Republic. Their agenda of One World Order has been more than 100 years in the making. In fact, if you think about it . . . we ALREADY have the de facto elimination of our borders right now today in 2006 . . . and have had for decades!(23)(27)

To further your understanding about the One World Order (OWO) and its connection to communism, socialism and Marxism, etc., read the articles below by clicking on the URLs found at these reference numbers: (28)(29)(30)

Lastly, do you know what the SCAMs (socialists, communists, anarchists and Marxists) have in store for you here in America? Do you know how they spent the these last several decades meticulously refining, re-working and planning their take-over of the United States' when they institute their One World Order? Have you ever read the "Communist Manifesto?" You should, it will make you hair stand on end to see how many of its 'goals' have ALREADY BEEN IMPLEMENTED! Take the time to find out what's in store for you and your children, go to this reference below and read a 'thumbnail' version of the "Communist Manifesto" entered into the United States Congressional Record in 1963: (31)

They are a sly and devious CABAL who are hiding in plain sight! They are the de facto government that MOST Americans have no clue exists. They are the 'Shadow Government' that is enthralled with the SCAM ideology that is memorialized in the Communist Manifesto, which tends to prompt statements from our current president George W. Bush such as: "It's just a goddamned piece of paper" when referring to the Constitution of United States, followed by: "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way!"(32)

These are SOME of the more 'visible communist/socialist One World Order traitors' who are members of the CFR, and/or Trilateral Commission and/or Bilderberg groups, that are busy selling out the American Republic: Cheney, Rice, Gen. Abizaid -- head of CENTCOM, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Bolton, Armitage, Perle, Chao, Geenspan, Both Clintons, Dodd, Feinstein, Graham, Hagel, Kerry, Lieberman, McCain, Schumer, Sarbanes, Snowe, Graham (FL), Rockefeller, Kerry, Kissinger, Powell, Albright, Frank, Matsui, Berman, Gephardt, Gingrich, Kemp, Kolbe, Rangel, Judges: Breyer, Ginsburg, O'Conner, to name a few . . . along with much of the State Department, and former presidents Carter and George H. W. Bush, etc.(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)

If That's True . . . What About the Recent DHS-ICE IFCO 'Bust?'

Lest you think the recent nationwide round-ups from IFCO Systems, an industrial pallet manufacturer, where 1,187 employees in 40 plants in 26 states were arrested during the raids indicates that our laws will finally be enforced think again!(39)

It turns out that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not have facilities to house the illegal aliens who were turned loose so quickly that even their relatives were stunned. If you watched the TV videos of the criminal aliens leaving the ICE facilities you would have seen that they were laughing and giving thumbs up signs. Isn't that interesting . . . the case was under investigation for a year and yet ICE was not prepared to house the illegals once they rounded them up. What does that tell you? Yes, it was just another example of DHS's great preparedness, but more succinctly . . . it was yet another governmental enforcement 'dog and pony show.'

This action by DHS PROVES . . . we don't need new laws, or 'comprehensive' reform . . . we just need the laws already 'on the books' ENFORCED. It should not take a year-long 'investigation' either. Simply go after those employers who have massive numbers of Social Security Numbers (SSNs) that do not match with those in the Social Security Administration database. They already KNOW who they are. There are MILLIONS of them.

The illegals were given a notice to appear for deportation, commonly known as 'run papers' since less than 10% ever show up for the hearings. Typically: "Of the 8,908 notices to appear that the immigration court in nearby Harlingen (Texas) issued last year to non-Mexicans, 8,767 failed to show up for their hearings . . . That is a no-show rate of 98 percent." Or, to put it another way . . . ONLY 2% ever show up.(40) THAT's why they were laughing and doing 'thumbs-up' signs, they KNOW they are 'home free' . . . AGAIN!

MORE Propaganda . . .

"Hector Flores, national president of [the racist] League of United Latin American Citizens [LULAC] said of the raids, 'Without a doubt it [the IFCO arrests] could lead a person to see this as retaliation for the demonstrations we have been seeing' [completely ignoring the fact that the investigation by DHS/ICE was ongoing for a year] . . . . 'The government says it is targeting large employers who are BLATANTLY violating the laws, and for now we take them at their word.' Flores said. 'I'd be greatly concerned if they were going into churches and schools, arresting everyone'."(41)

Fist of all . . . why is our government only going after illegal aliens who BLATANTLY violate the law. Do YOU avoid arrest unless you BLATANTLY violate a law? What you need to understand is that the DHS is operating via POLICY, not the LAW! The DHS mandated POLICY is for ICE to arrest an illegal alien only AFTER they commit another crime. Just think . . . if they arrested them for being here illegally and deported them, the CRIMES THEY COMMIT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN! Think about it. Crime effects people in many ways. Just think of the suffering they perpetrate that WOULD BE ELIMINATED if our country's immigration laws were ENFORCED!

There is no need to go to churches to gather them up, just bring the buses to the next street rabble event and load 'em up! Why not arrest illegal aliens everywhere and everyplace? They don't belong here. They are lawbreakers many times over. Do Americans get to break several laws then run rampant in our streets flaunting that fact? What the Hispanic 'marches' and 'school walkouts' are demonstrating are acts of ANARCHY.

It is a FACT that Mr. Flores represents a racist organization that blatantly calls for illegal alien anarchy. As LULAC's national president, speaking for LULAC, he supports the flouting of our laws. He is just another racist anarchist preaching disobeyance of our laws and sanctuary for the illegal aliens who arrogantly demand we give them what they have no right to demand or receive. Would Mr. Flores support, advocate and demand 'rights' for illegal aliens if they were 90% Hindus or Muslims or Jews or a combination thereof, instead of predominately Catholic Hispanics overwhelmingly arriving from Mexico? LULAC supports them BECAUSE they are Mexicans who are engaging in a de facto war of reconquista by colonization and anchor babies.

Illegal aliens NEED to be concerned about being rounded up. They deserve to be DISRESPECTED for violating our sovereignty and immigration laws. They insult the American people by marching arrogantly in our streets demanding 'rights' for illegal alien criminal lawbreakers with such racist hypocrisy that it is breathtaking!

Chertoff's Chicanery and the DHS Hidden Agenda

Sadly, Chertoff of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is NOT targeting illegal aliens, but is targeting ONLY the employers. Why? Because: "This complements the temporary worker notion, Chertoff said, referring to the proposal in Congress that a legal path be provided for undocumented [illegal] immigrants [aliens] to achieve legal status in the United States."(42)

"We want to create a very clear choice for employers. A legal path that'll be regulated [by whom, the same people who don't enforce ANY of our current immigration laws?], that'll be totally visible and that will allow the hiring of workers in accordance with the law, on a temporary basis . . . or a choice not to follow the law, which will be met with a very tough sanctions."(42)

Now There's Some Twisted Logic!

Chertoff's plan is to go after a few (one) employer in order to promote support for Bush's 'guestworker' AMNESTY program. Chertoff was quoted as pledging "to 'come down as hard as possible' on violators who 'knowingly and recklessly' hire illegal immigrants. Up to now such employers have faced only administrative fines." The reason they have received only administrative fines is because it is a POLICY of the DHS. See the law above that lists up to six months in jail for a 'pattern of practice' of hiring illegal aliens. The 'administrative' brush-off is simply MORE PROPAGANDA by Chertoff at DHS.

What's happened here? Were some new laws created that allowed ICE and the DHS to go after these employers? No, there are no NEW laws, but there are many OLD laws that are NEVER ENFORCED. In fact, we really do not need to reform our immigration laws. All the laws that are needed are already on the books. Those laws are deliberately unenforced by orders from the global elite SCAMs (socialists, communists, anarchists, and Marxists) 'Shadow Government' that wants de facto open borders without 'We the People' giving our permission to do so.

Chertoff says there will 'sanctions,' what are sanctions? Sounds like 'weasel room' because he does not state that the law will be enforced and the employers fined and imprisoned. Does Mr. Chertoff think that 'We the People' are so gullible as to believe that enforcement will occur AFTER they have a 'guestworker' amnesty program, when our laws have NEVER been enforced in the past, except randomly and for show?

Also, it seems that Mr. Chertoff needs to 'brush-up' on immigration law, because the is NO SUCH WORD as "recklessly" in the Title 8 Immigration Laws concerning unlawful employment of aliens. Check it out for yourself above! But then, of course, the DHS and Mr. Chertoff are ALLOWING the illegal alien anarchy through non-enforcement of our current immigration laws.

HR 4437 Would END the Insane 'Catch and Release' Policy of DHS

In 2005, during hearings held by the U.S. Senate, Victor X. Cerda, the acting director of detention and removal operations for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said that "One million people facing immigration proceedings have been released into the general population [that's onto the streets, cities, towns and communities of America]. . . . Of those people, 465,000 are fugitive aliens who have been ordered deported. About 80,000 of those are criminal aliens who have committed an offense in addition to immigration violations. . . . [and they] include murderers, rapists and child molesters, [according to] Mr. Cohn [deputy assistant attorney general]."(43)

Doesn't that make you so mad you could scream? They could not have committed those crimes here in America if they were kept OUT in the first place. Our laws state that if you are an alien, legal or illegal, and you commit a crime you are to be DEPORTED. Common sense tells you that when we have felons in our custody for crimes and then we release them onto the streets of America, instead of deporting them, that is a definition of governmental insanity!

"Top officials at the Department of Homeland Security recently revealed the arrest for child sex crimes during the first two years of Operation Predator have exceeded 6,000 and 85 percent [that's 5100] of them are criminal immigrants."(44) What those figures mean is that AT LEAST 5,100 children have been sexually abused by 'immigrants' who usually are serial offenders. You did notice they avoided saying if they were legal or illegal 'immigrants.' We need to demand that President Bush put our military on the borders and enforce our immigration laws.

How Non-Profits 'Aid and Abet' Illegals by Hiding Behind a Little Known Law:

Did you know that the Catholic Church and 'Charities' receives 67% of their nearly 3 billion dollar annual budget from funding by the federal, state and local governments (that's taxpayer dollars) in the form of grants and contracts to subsidize and support many of those who have criminally entered, remain and work in our country.(45)

There are HUGE industries in this country creating and operating facilities for illegal aliens using taxpayer dollars to hire and pay employees who are 'aiding and abetting' illegal aliens. For example, the subsidized housing industry received $37.5 BILLION taxpayer dollars in 2004 and Catholic Charities controls a large portion of those billions by directing them into their many subsidized housing facilities across the country, MANY of which exist SOLELY to house illegal aliens.(46)(47) They also operate many taxpayer funded illegal alien day labor centers.(48)(49) Our taxpayer dollars also fund food pantries, medical, dental and legal clinics all across the country that benefit MOSTLY illegal aliens.(1)

FYI . . . it IS illegal for ANYONE including non-profits, such as the Catholic Church to 'aid and abet' illegal aliens in the commission of a crime (see below). The way the Catholic Church and other non-profits get around those laws is by invoking a current law which says that non-profits are permitted to 'don't ask, don't tell' when they provide services. THAT is why the legislature NEEDS to, but hasn't changed the law in HR 4437 which was instituted in 1996 when there were relatively few illegals here and thus inconsequential and humanitarian to do so. Besides, the Catholic Church lobbied incessantly to get that provision.

Today however, circumstances are very, very different. Now there is 23 million or more illegal aliens present in the USA and !0,000 thousand are arriving EVERY SINGLE DAY. Ninety percent of those illegal aliens are primarily CATHOLIC Hispanics and Latinos and of those 65% (approximately 13 million) are from Mexico.(10)

What IS 'Aiding or Abetting?

To 'Aid or Abet' is to actively, knowingly, or intentionally assist another person in the commission or attempted commission of a crime, such as illegally entering our country without our permission or knowledge, housing them, transporting them, or employing them.(50)

The 'Aid and Abet' Law:

1. It is 'aiding or abetting' to "encourage or induce 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." 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv).(51)

2. It is 'aiding or abetting' to "conceal or attempt to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, illegal aliens, including any building or any means of transportation." 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii).(51)

3. It is also 'aiding or abetting' to "engage in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts." 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(v)(I).(51)

4. It is a felony to 'aid or abet' in the commission of the above acts. 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(v)(II).(51)

Note: A Felony Occurs when the specified crime carries a penalty of more than one year in prison.(52)

Note: For ALL the crimes listed above the maximum penalties range from five to twenty years for EACH VIOLATION, where sentences of more than five years indicate additional aggravating circumstances.

Note: Recent class-action lawsuits have been brought by ordinary citizens against those who 'aid and abet' illegal aliens, under RICO the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statutes. A significant event because it can mean the awarding of treble damages for the plaintiffs.(53)

The 'aid and abet' laws have been 'on the books' for a long, long time. So Cardinal Mahony's claim that the Catholic Church is against HR 4437 because it will 'criminalize' religious workers who help illegal aliens is bogus, since the law already exists that make is illegal to do so. However there IS A LOOPHOLE in the LAW which the Catholic Church is VERY well aware of which is . . .

The Non-Profit Loophole ~ 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'

The loophole in the immigration law that allow non-profits to circumvent the 'aid and abet laws is as follows: "No verification requirement for nonprofit charitable organizations . . . a nonprofit charitable organization, in providing any Federal public benefit . . . or any State or local public benefit . . . is not required under this chapter to determine, verify, or otherwise require proof of eligibility of any applicant for such benefits." 8 U.S.C. § 1642(d).(54) This loophole allows non-profits to facilitate illegal aliens without fear of prosecution under the 'aid or abet' immigration laws of this country.

It also permits them to help illegal aliens gain access to the very welfare and public benefits the federal government specifically denies illegals to receive such as Medicaid, SSI and all manner of other federally funded, read taxpayer dollars, programs. Those public benefits are many and include such things as access to 'Head Start' programs for babies as young as six-months old, food stamps, school breakfast and lunches, subsidized public housing, access to health clinics, legal aid and more -- much, much more.

Of course ALL non-profits know full well that they are 'aiding and abetting' illegal aliens. But because of the loophole, they simply WILLFULLY LOOK THE OTHER WAY and PRETEND their status is irrelevant, when in TRUTH they know full-well that they are 'aiding and abetting' illegal aliens. In their 'heart of hearts' providers and their employees know that they are breaking the law by 'aiding and abetting' illegal aliens and are deceitfully, deviously and egregiously defying those laws because of the loophole. How can that possibly rest well on their MORAL CONSCIOUSNESS, something the church ONCE thought important?

Illegal aliens are making a mockery of America's goodness to the detriment of needy legal residents of this country. The taxpayers are supporting these illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country. The citizens and LEGAL residents of this country have a RIGHT to ask that the taxpayer dollars that comes from the 'sweat of their brow' NOT be spent on those who are here illegally.

It is insulting to hard working Americans, that illegal aliens defy our immigration laws and are then rewarded and supported by our tax dollars. It is especially galling that they are being assisted in the flouting of our laws by American non-profits who are exempt from paying taxes.

The Catholic Church, driven by exhortations from Archbishop Vlazny, and Cardinals Mahony and McCarrick are encouraging their flocks to defy our immigration laws and 'aid and abet' illegal aliens is prima facie evidence of the Catholic Church's, etc., descent into moral turpitude (i.e., gross violation of standards of moral conduct).(1)(55)(56)(57)

It seems that many Catholics, especially the church hierarchy, have openly preached and advocated sedition. Cardinal Mahony does so when he calls for Catholics to disobey laws that the government may enact to stop illegal immigration. The Cardinal seems to have forgotten the teachings of the bible concerning respect for the law of the land: Romans 13:1-2 . . . "let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed . . . "(58)

The Big Lie: Mahony Deceitfully Demonizes HR 4437

Joe Guzzardi, a Catholic, reminds Cardinal Mahony that one of the Ten Commandments admonishes good, devout Christians not to lie. But that has not stopped Cardinal Roger Mahony. "Mahony has repeatedly and knowingly lied about what the federal government proposes in new immigration legislation . . . Not only is Mahony endorsing breaking existing immigration laws, and encouraging more illegal immigration, the Cardinal is violating one of the Ten Commandments: Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness."(59)

In a "New York Times" op-ed titled: "Called by God to Help," Mahony stated that HR 4437 "would subject them [priests], as well as other church and humanitarian workers, to criminal penalties . . . Providing humanitarian assistance to those in need should not be made a crime, as the House bill decrees. As written, the proposed law is so broad that is would criminalize even minor acts of mercy like offering a meal or administering first aid."(60)

Such words are so disingenuous as to be laughable . . . .because most know that the Catholic Church and Charities with its $3 BILLION annual budget, 67% of which comes from the taxpayers via government grants, contracts and subsidies, is helping illegals gain access and use of such things as subsidized housing, applying for Medicaid and SSI, helping them find jobs, accessing taxpayers dollars for illegal alien mothers to have pre-natal care, birth their 'anchor babies' and then help them collect other welfare benefits such as food stamps, WIC aid for dependent children and MANY, MANY other benefits. Benefits meant for the poor, needy and helpless here in America.(1)

The Catholic Charities also have separate agencies that provide legal help for illegals, provide subsidized housing for them and other agencies that work diligently to bring in refugees and asylees . . . and the list goes on. The Catholic Church has a MASSIVE system for supporting illegal aliens day in and day out, month after month, year after year after year.(1)

Since the Catholic Church, the largest and most egregious of the 5th column of 'aiders and abettors' of the illegal alien criminal invaders, they know full well that it is and always has been in violation of Immigration laws. Cardinal Mahony ALSO knows about the 'don't ask, don't tell' loophole. After all, they have well paid lawyers galore to point out those facts to Catholic hierarchy.

"Indeed , Mahony has been so consistently outrageous and inaccurate [lying,demonizing and propagandizing] on the proposed legislation [HR 4437] that on April 5th Chairman of the House Judiciary F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr., Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Peter T. King and Chairman of the House International Relations Committee Henry J. Hyde wrote an open letter to the U.S. Catholic Bishops."(59)

The letter was basically a plea for Mahony to quit lying about the provision of HR 4437, using the politically correct words, requesting Mahony to engage in 'a thoughtful and respectful dialogue' instead of the inflammatory rhetoric he has constantly engaged in everywhere and everyplace he could, including the pulpit.

The open letter to Mahony goes on to say: "Just as under current law, religious organizations would not have to 'card' people at soup kitchens and homeless shelters under the House bill's anti-smuggling provision. Prosecutors would not sooner prosecute good Samaritans for 'assisting' illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. under the House bill than they would prosecute such persons for 'encouraging' illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. under current law which has existed for 20 years."(61) Don't you want to ask why not? This is just another example of laws that are not enforced!

"The letter closes with an offer to "work together"?which, according to a conversation I had with the House Judiciary Committee?s media relations department, has not been accepted."(59)

Besides That . . . Mahony Also Disobeys the Pope . . .

Apparently Cardinal Mahony and the US Bishops hadn't read the Pope's Encyclical from Christmas 2005 where Pope Benedict XVI clearly ordered the Church to stay out of politics. The call by Mahony to engage in politics is in disobeyance of the Pope's Encyclical Letter, Deus Caritas Est of 12/25/05 where he states: "Fundamental to Christianity is the distinction between what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God . . . The just ordering of society and the State is a central responsibility of politics . . . The Church cannot and must not take upon herself the political battle to bring about the most just society possible . . . The direct duty to work for a just ordering of society, on the other hand, is proper to the lay faithful. As citizens of the State, they are called to take part in public life in a personal capacity."(62)

Since Cardinal Mahony is not laity, his preaching and political activism and organizational efforts are in violation of the Pope's Encyclical.

It is GROSSLY unfair to both the lawful needy poor and hard-working Americans in our country who are forced to support those who have no right to be here in the first place. It is doubly egregious to continue to protect those illegal aliens with 'don't ask, don't tell' laws that permit non-profits to continue 'aiding and abetting' them. For that reason the law MUST be changed as stated in HR 4437 to close a loophole that allows non-profits to ignore our immigration laws.

HR 4437 Seeks to End the Sham of Non-Enforcement by Local and State Police

Did you know that local and state police IGNORE illegal aliens because it is ONLY a 'civil penalty?' HR 4437 will REQUIRE ALL police to enforce our immigration laws. That is already the law, but nationwide it is too much work and cost to round up all those illegal aliens. The excuses are: 'Not enough detention space'; 'It's a Federal problem'; 'It's only a civil penalty to enter our country illegally', etc. The HR 4437 leverage for forcing the police departments to do their duty will be the denial of federal funds to their anarchist states, cities and towns that provide 'sanctuary' for illegal aliens.

Law enforcement across this country have steadfastly REFUSED to enforce our immigration laws. They have boldly written and enforced directives to provide 'sanctuary' cities for illegal aliens. States such and Maine and Oregon have declared their entire state a 'sanctuary' state. These acts are in defiance of our immigration laws and are just another example of those who 'aid and abet' illegal aliens. They are also more evidence of anarchy.

Even in states like New Jersey (NJ) where the Attorney General (AG) Peter C. Harvey, unequivocally announced that local police cannot 'pick and choose' which laws they want to enforce, nothing ever came of the pronouncement. It is all 'lip service' to keep the 'sheeple' pacified. Do read what the AG's office boldly said and you New Jerseyians decide if the directive meant 'a hill of beans!'(64)
