IF AMERICA IS TO CONTINUE TO EXIST THERE MUST BE NO 'SANCTUARY STATE!'

Submitted by: John Butler

Utah Legislators seek to designate Utah as the first Sanctuary State

At last count, there were more than 50 “sanctuary cities” in the United States willfully in violation of the 1996 Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act.  With the passage of 1SHB116, the Utah Legislature seeks the unprecedented designation for Utah as the very first Sanctuary State in the Country.  1SHB116 must be vetoed by Utah Governor Herbert for the following reasons:
  • The language of 1SHB116  calls for “legal citizenship and employment status for sale” upon the payment of a $1000.00 fine by illegal immigrants, without restriction or caps being placed on the number of illegal immigrants that would be granted such status.  Illegal immigrants across the United States will descend on Utah in an effort to legitimize their illegal presence in the United States;
  • 1SHB116 discriminates against those immigrants who have respected the laws and sovereignty of the United States and have lawfully applied for citizenship;  
  • !SHB116 calls for background checks for illegal immigrants in order to obtain work permits under the law.  Only 5% of U.S. communities participate in the Secure Communities program which is responsible to enter criminal records into the national database. According to ICE, as of 1 February 2011, Secure Communities had only 1,006 cities and counties participating in 38 states, out of over 19,000 municipalities in the U.S.    The background check called for in 1SHB116 will not identify those who have committed crimes outside the U.S. as Secure Communities is a national program run by the FBI.  The only exceptions would be internationally wanted criminals listed in the INTERPOL database.  Few wanted criminals are flagged by INTERPOL;
  • All illegal aliens including those who have committed crimes and have not yet been convicted of them will be allowed to obtain work permits.  This includes terrorists, cartel operatives, gang members and the 75% of Utah illegal aliens who commit document and Social Security fraud, identity theft, etc.  1SHB116 allows individuals convicted of class A, B, C misdemeanors and non-serious felonies to get permits. (Lines 754-755) The bill allows illegal aliens who have committed identity theft to qualify as long as they have not been convicted.  The provision in the bill to compensate the victims of identity theft only kicks in once there has been a conviction or guilty plea.  This sacrifices the 50,000 to 70,000 Utah children who are the victims of illegal alien identity theft. (Lines 754-755, 796-803, 1426-1456)\
  • 1SHB116 violates itself by encouraging and inducing illegal aliens to come to Utah.  Quoting federal law 8 USC 1324, lines 1599 - 1601 of 1SHB116 states: “(2) It is unlawful for a person to: . . . (c) encourage or induce an alien to come to, enter, or reside in this state, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that the alien's coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law;"  Under current federal immigration law, a waiver for this bill, allowing illegal immigrants to work, is not possible.  It would require an act of Congress signed by the President to change existing law. As passed by the Utah Legislature, 1SHB116  calls for obtaining multiple waivers from multiple federal agencies.  However, in reality, 1SHB116 seeks an exclusion from several Federal Statutes by legislative fiat.
1SHB116 is counter-intuitive to the oath of office taken by each member of the Utah Legislature to “uphold and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and the State of Utah”.  It simply boggles the mind to contemplate what Utah Legislators could have been thinking when they pass a piece of legislation that aids and abets violations of 8 USC 1324(a)(2)(c), 8 USC 1324a sections (a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B)(i)(ii) and (a)(2), The 1996 Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, as well as several other Federal Laws.  Contrary to public popular belief, crossing the border illegally is a Federal misdemeanor and re-entry a felony.  It is only the the overstaying of a visa has been mistakenly characterized by amnesty advocates as being “comparable to a speeding ticket”.  In that regard, those legislators who voted in favor of 1SHB116 are now defacto co-conspirators in the commission of crimes.

  1. TAXPAYERS TO THE WORLD

    Again--those States that ignore public opinion and the billions of dollars extracted from public service and welfare programs to sustain illegal economic migrants and immigrants will initiate consequences of refugees arriving there from Arizona and other self-restriction States. If Oklahoma, Utah, Georgia Michigan, Florida legislators giving away to indulgent provisions, playing into the greedy hands of industry and other open border seeders. They too will be submerged by mass populations of illegal cheap labor, mainly from low income labor. These people are ready and willing to steal American jobs as they have been doing for three decades. Unsettled by new policing laws throughout the country, unknown numbers of foreigners will head in all directions looking for a better home.

    States that pander to illegal immigrants such as California, Nevada will get their fair share of paperless people, as they spread across the Southwest. California has been soaked for a 24 billion dollar deficit, so how much money is your State taxpayers out-of-pocket subsidizing anybody who makes it this side of the fence or through airports. Illinois itself has to make-up 15 billion dollar deficit, with $4.6 billion attributed to taxpayers paying for foreign illegal settlement. No State is immune if the State lawmakers who decide to tamper down rigid laws. YOU--end up paying for the education, health care and accumulation of other entitlement programs. The schools are crammed with illegal alien children, same with hospitals and the US jails and prisons. Education has flopped as teachers have to spend more time, with students who cannot comprehend English.

  2. WE CAN ONLY WIN THIS WAR, IF EVERY AMERICAN UNITES

    Every State needs to be unswerving towards mandating E-Verify, 287 (G) and Secure Communities police programs. If you are here illegal and get caught, which you eventually will in some scenario you will be deported, with zero tolerance. Amnesty (blanket Amnesty or Comprehensive Reform or Dream Act) is out of the question with the majority of Americans and the growing membership of the Tea Party steadfast in their resolve. We have already had six hidden amnesties since Ronald Reagan's unenforced 1986 immigration law and we pro-sovereignty groups are suspiciously watching for these irregularities. NumbersUSA does not disguise the facts from the Leftist editorial, but offers disquieting statistics and what is really being done to stem the ever increasing tide of illegal immigrants? The US Government does not always tell The People the full truth, so those interested in the corruption and details emanating from Congress and State Capitols on the illegal immigration issue should investigate the website of Judicial Watch. If you want to call your federal or State Representative directly, find the phone number in the blue pages of your phone directory.
