For some reason, I do not hear much talk about the problem of NGOs and their role in facilitating illegal immigration.
18 U.S. Code § 2 states that:
Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.
(Note: in criminal law, the ‘principal’ means ‘the person responsible for the crime’).
8 U.S. Code § 1325 (a) states that:
Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.
Currently multiple NGOs are operating south of the border who are actively aiding illegal immigration to the United States. Using broad powers concerning foreign entities, the DOJ and the Executive should seize and terminate any assets and operations of these NGOs in the United States and freeze/sanction any funding, pending investigation into crimes against the United States. Directors of these organizations should be arrested and pending criminal charges following a full investigation into the funding and any communications of these NGOs.
