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.
Come on pro-illegals...will you continue to support illegals knowing full well that it is a crime and even your personal convictions can not justify you?

sashie, I'm not hopeing for enforcement so much as I am hopeing for the allegiance of the pro illeglas to change. If the law can't sway their allegiance what will?

How un-humanitarian...this is the part that disgusts me the most about this law.
If an illegal came to my house with nothing but the clothes on his back...of course I would help him. He is a human being who needs help. I probably wouldn't keep him for very long; I would encourage him to start the legalization process. But I would support him, legal or illegal.
When I am committing a felony for helping a fellow human in need, it is truly a dark time...

Pick a line any line and defend yourselves! Damn this one got to you didn't it? The truth is, if you go to the law and read it, anyone who encourages or assists illegals is committing a felony. Are you not encouraging illegal immigration by supporting them in this forum? How many of you have said "they are here to stay", "we need them", "you cant deport illegals" or anything else encouraging them to come to or stay in America?
If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem! It is the law!

Laws are laws, and they shouldn't be broken, but that is not an excuse for inhumane behavior.
It's pretty sad that a Native American would hate Mexicans, or anybody for that matter. Very hypocritical if you ask me. Being that my family is Kumeyaay and Mexican (the Mexican side of my family was here before the war as well)...A bit of info, most of the Native Americans that are in the Southwest Region were Mexican Indian at one time. Do you hate them too?

I don't support law breakers or those who support them. Wrong is wrong. All laws have a purpose-If you don't like them change them legally-don't break them and don't support those who do -period.
To some of the other comments--I don't support the ideas of my government-but legally by vote they are there and I will try to support the laws of the county. On the other side--Illegals were not voted in--they don't belong.

Great question, now how about lighting a fire under the feet of your nearest district US Attorney's offcie mand making them enforce this law. You can file a compliant at your nearest US District Court House against anyone you have knowledge of violating this provision.

The "Federal Immigration and Nationality Act" is not a law. It is a proposed bill that has not yet been passed. Therefore, your statements have no merit.

By supporting immigration reform I am not breaking the law. I'm not assisting anyone, I'm just exercising my right to free speech.

I've said it before and I'll say it again ... as long as our present administration are the worst culprits in this regard, what hope is there that this law will ever be enforced?
