DHS Creates Registry For People Illegally In The U.S.

Seriously, why do we not know who most of them are already, since a goodly chunk were let across the border by the Biden regime

Trump administration creates registry for immigrants who are in the US illegally

The Trump administration is creating a registry for all people who are in the United States illegally, and those who don’t self-report could face fines or prosecution, immigration officials announced Tuesday.

Everyone who is in the U.S. illegally must register, give fingerprints and provide an address, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. It cited a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act — the complex immigration law — as justification for the registration process, which would apply to anyone 14 and older.

The announcement comes as the administration seeks to make good on campaign promises to carry out mass deportations of people in the country illegally and seal the border to future asylum-seekers.

“An alien’s failure to register is a crime that could result in a fine, imprisonment, or both,” the statement said. “For decades, this law has been ignored — not anymore.”

On its website, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service said it would soon create a form and process for registration.

Either way, they will eventually be caught up. Well, hopefully. Four years is a long time to get the illegals. And it could be longer if a Republican wins in 2028. It’s a crime to be in the US illegally to start with, with a civil penalty of a small fine, possible jail time, and deportation for a first offense.

The National Immigration Law Center, an immigration advocacy group, said in a posting on its website before the Tuesday night announcement that “the Alien Registration Act of 1940 is the only time the U.S. government carried out a comprehensive campaign to require all noncitizens to register.”

The organization said under that process, people had to go to their local post office to register, and the goal was to identify “potential national security threats broadly characterized as communist or subversive.”

The group warned that the registry was meant to help find potential targets for deportation.

Well, yeah. Don’t forget, roughly 45% are visa overstays, who are easier to find. And then all the companies that hired them should be investigated to see if they knowingly hired people unlawfully present in the U.S. and prosecute them.

(ABC News) That requirement is stoking fears that this would be a new “show me your papers” type of law, said Michelle Lapointe, legal director for the American Immigration Council.

“There are some real civil liberties issues here,” Lapointe told ABC News. “It will end up ensnaring people based on law enforcement’s perceptions of their race and assumptions that law enforcement makes about people’s immigration status based on that.”

These people. Same old stupid talking point, which most are no longer affected by. No one cares. We’re done with this race-baiting. The law authorizes this, and these people are in the U.S. against federal law. And, we certainly aren’t listening to the race-baiting from an uber-white liberal woman white-knighting for illegal aliens.

Here is the interview Coachella city councilwoman Yadira Perez gave to local media regarding her husband’s arrest. When the reporter asked her if her husband had a criminal history, she said “My husband wasn’t perfect, whatever he did he paid for it.”https://t.co/Np6EUpk6g4

Her husband is a previously deported Mexican illegal alien with a lengthy rap sheet of several felony convictions, including possession of a controlled substance (meth) for sale, inflicting corporal injury to a spouse, DUI, and assault with a deadly weapon, according to ICE.

Isidro Jimenez-Ibanez is also now looking at prosecution for felony re-entry, as federal authorities are now charging him with violation of 8 USC 1326, illegal alien found in the US after deportation, which was the reason for his FBI/ICE arrest in the Coachella parking lot. The FBI had a criminal warrant signed by a federal magistrate when they arrested him.

Huh. She should be arrested for harboring and sheltering an illegal alien, especially when he committed a felony by re-entering the U.S.
