J. Edgar Hoover Was F.B.I. Director & His Proposed Suspension Of Habeas Corpus For Illegals!

The Constitution says habeas corpus shall not be suspended “unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it.” The plan proposed by Hoover, the head of the F.B.I. from 1924 to 1972, stretched that clause to include “threatened invasion” or “attack upon United States troops in legally occupied territory.”

After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, President Bush issued an order that effectively allowed the United States to hold suspects indefinitely without a hearing, a lawyer, or formal charges. In September 2006, Congress passed a law suspending habeas corpus for anyone deemed an “unlawful enemy combatant.”

But the Supreme Court has reaffirmed the right of American citizens to seek a writ of habeas corpus. This month the court heard arguments on whether about 300 foreigners held at Guantánamo Bay had the same rights. It is expected to rule by next summer.

The Fifth Amendment Does Not Apply To Non US Citizens!

The Fifth Amendment Does Not Apply To Non US Citizens!

It is the view of the Federal administration, (especially that of George W. Bush), and is still being used currently. That any foreigner who enters the USA illegally, does not qualify under the fifth amendment, for habeas corpus. Therefore, they can be arrested, thrown in prison, (especially law offenders) for very lengthy periods of time, without due process, or consultation with an attorney.

And held therein, until the Federal Immigration Administration repatriates them to their country of origin. Those whose country of origin cannot be determined, will be held in prison indefinitely!

Is this justice? I say it depends on who you ask here in the USA!

However, it is expected under International Law, that any illegal should be allowed to consult with an attorney before he/she is brought before a court of justice.

Because this is the civilized thing to do, and is in keeping with the Geneva Conventions as it pertains to Human and Civil Rights.

The Hispanic/Latino Votes In America!

The Hispanic/Latino Votes In America!

For decades both Democrats and Republicans have fooled the Hispanics into believing that REAL
Immigration changes will be legislated for, if they vote for either party.

Well, both political parties have failed miserably to enact a Comprehensive Immigration Bill so far!

Each time they use piece meal approaches to it, just barely touching the surface of this issue, and never getting anything real, or what comes close to a Comprehensive Immigration Bill, that both houses can approve, and the sitting president will sign.

The same applies to Barack Obama currently, who made the same promise to millions of un-documented residents here, that he will make a difference if they vote for him. He is almost to the end of his first four year term in office, and the immigration issue is still to be dealt with meaningfully.

Finally, personally I don't believe that Barack Obama will be able to get any Comprehensive Immigration Legislation passed in both houses. The Republicans control the Congress, and they will not vote in favor of any such legislation, just to embarrass and frustrate the Democrats into being unable to deliver on this promise.

This is the harsh reality for un-documented residents of all persuasions, most of whom are here legally, barely surviving, having to use illegal means to survive, and lives amidst fear of expatriation on a daily basis.

Heaven help us all!

IMMIGRATION IS A FEDERAL RESPONSIBILITY!

IMMIGRATION IS A FEDERAL RESPONSIBILITY!

No state has the authority to legislate Immigration Policy on it's own volition. The Federal Government via the Congress, is the forum that enacts such legislation ONLY.

And when passed, after being voted for in both Houses, and signed into law by the President. then it becomes the law of the entire fifty states.

ALABAMA-USA DRACONIAN IMMIGRATION LAW:

This law will allow for the harassment of all suspected illegal immigrants to be stopped and checked by The Police.

It prevents any Landlord from renting to them. It prevents access to Health Care, and to colleges. This discriminatory oriented type of law, takes the country back to the Jim Crow Era for all immigrants/aliens.

THE USA IMMIGRATION:

Any state that decides to enact such legislation, violates the Constitutional Mandate given to The Federal Administration/Government.

And any resident alien who is held in violation of such law in any state, MUST ensure, that an appeal is made to the US Supreme Court for a hearing, and a decision on that matter.
