It looks like we created a law enforcement agency but made them paper tigers. I cannot imagine why there are warrants that have the same restrictions as a child's game of hide-and-seek.
.
8 usc 1324, which is the statute that sets the elements for the offense known as 'alien smuggling', lists "aiding" "facilitating", or doing anything "in furtherence of" the illegal entry of aliens, as making one guilty of "alien smuggling.
But, if noone is willing to enforce it, the statute is a waste of ink. ICE is a paper tiger because, despite having all the authority in the world to act, is run by managers who are afraid of their own shadow.
The house committees who oversee ice, is stocked with democrats. As long as half the american electorate want illegals left alone, and vote such, thats ecactly what will happen.
The federal government is a joke. Theres no good reason at all to take them seriously. Thats why i dont get too wrapped around the axle when ATF comes out with a new opinion on pistol braces or barrel lengths.
Im still pinning my hopes for Americas future on an asteroid.
