January
5, Fort Smith City Directors and City Manager Kelly convened. Two gentlemen
appeared before the Board.Purpose of presentation to state that one had
been fired from his job and replaced by an illegal.He also had proof that his former company
was hiring illegals, had been caught on at least one previous occasion and was
still contracting with state, county, and city. The second gentleman stated he
sees illegals working around schools and city jobs…Times Record silent.
The two were informative, concluded by asking
the Board why we are a Sanctuary City. The gentleman fired said the Feds had
tried to buy him off but he wouldn’t be silenced.He has called all appropriate elected
officials, getting a response was like “chasing a rainbow”.
Director
Bill Maddox, the only city official bringing attention to this crisis.
The
Board response lacked concern re the citizen’s job loss.City
Manager Kelly said “the city is not a lightening rod” (yes, it is) and went on
to say for every one illegal identified “there are 10 or 20 more and that it is
unbelievable how many there are”.Law
enforcement ignores. Why?
The law:
8 USC, 1324a, 1324c, 1644.
Any person who knowingly hires/harbors/
transports any illegal alien is guilty of a felony punishable
by 10 years jail + $2,000 fine per illegal alien + forfeiture of vehicle or
property used to commit the crime.
All officers whose duty it is to enforce
criminal laws shall have authority to make arrests for violation
of any provision of this section .
NO LOCAL ORDINANCE, RULE, OR MEASURE SHALL
STOP LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FROM ENFORCEMENT OF THIS SECTION
.
More selective law enforcement?
The inactivity of policingagencies, in thematter ofillegal immigration results in spiraling high crimes against Americans.
