Do we live in a nation governed by the rule of law? A very important section of the "law" of the United States Code as pertaining to illegal immigration proves that the United States of America is no longer operating under the rule of law, but is subject to the rule of men who are in a state of insurgency against the law of the land.
Whether or not you realized it, America has passed from being a guaranteed Constitutional Republican form of government and is now an oligarchy, the rule of a small group of powerful people who are self-appointedly above the law and have seized immunity from justice.
And We the People allowed it to happen.

"The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of [the] citizen." — Charles De Secondat Montesquieu, Reflections on the Causes of the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, Chapter IV, p. 19 (1825)
"[W]here there is no law, there is no liberty; and nothing deserves the name of law but that which is certain and universal in its operation upon all the members of the community." — Benjamin Rush, letter to David Ramsay (1788)
"AMNESTY, n. The state's magnanimity to those offenders whom it would be too expensive to punish." — Ambrose Bierce, The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary, p. 15 (1906)
"The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people." — Noam Chomsky (1928)
"Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy; such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit, and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few." — John Adams, An Essay on Man's Lust for Power (1763)
"[N]either the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt." — Samuel Adams, essay in The Public Advertiser (1749)
"Without justice being freely, fully, and impartially administered, neither our persons, nor our rights, nor our property, can be protected. And if these, or either of them, are regulated by no certain laws, and are subject to no certain principles, and are held by no certain tenure, and are redressed, when violated, by no certain remedies, society fails of all its value; and men may as well return to a state of savage and barbarous independence." — Joseph Story, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Commentaries on the Constitution (1833)

In my previous blog, I highlighted the President's blatant double-cross regarding the clear and present threat that illegal immigration poses to American citizens, as written in his own book, Dreams from My Father. I also tied together the adamantine threads that reckless conspiratorial immigration is bound to socialism, Marcusian cultural Marxism, dividing and conquering, the Hagelian Dialectic, Saul Alinsky tactics, the Cloward-Piven overwhelm strategy, and the ultimate elimination of the middle class of the United States of America, one of the final planks of the Communist Manifesto to be implemented in this country.
British philosopher John Stuart Mill, in his landmark essay, On Liberty, defined how despotism, "by whatever name it may be called, and whether it professes to be enforcing the will of God or the injunctions of men," is still despotism. Whatever label is given to harboring aliens in direct conflict with the law — whether it be amnesty, immigration reform, cooperation or democracy — it is still beneath the umbrella of autocratic despotism, the exercise of absolute authority in contempt of established law.
Keep in mind that while the nation's attention was diverted toward the immigration Executive action, the Ferguson fallout, the Thanksgiving holiday and zombie apocalypse of Black Friday commercialism, the Obama Administration quietly issued 3,415 regulations in a sweeping federal Unified Agenda to pass thousands of new draconian laws to further control and oppress the American people and curtail our industrial base.
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
Behold, the law of the land:
▶ United States Code, Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter II, Part VIII, § 1324 — Bringing in and harboring certain aliens (blogger's emphasis)
(a) Criminal penalties
(1)
(A) Any person who—
(i) knowing that a person is an alien, brings to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever such person at a place other than a designated port of entry or place other than as designated by the Commissioner, regardless of whether such alien has received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States and regardless of any future official action which may be taken with respect to such alien;
(ii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law;
(iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;
(iv) encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law; or

(B) A person who violates subparagraph (A) shall, for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs—
(i) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i) or (v)(I) or in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), or (iv) in which the offense was done for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both;

(C) It is not a violation of clauses [1] (ii) or (iii) of subparagraph (A), or of clause (iv) of subparagraph (A) except where a person encourages or induces an alien to come to or enter the United States, for a religious denomination having a bona fide nonprofit, religious organization in the United States, or the agents or officers of such denomination or organization, to encourage, invite, call, allow, or enable an alien who is present in the United States to perform the vocation of a minister or missionary for the denomination or organization in the United States as a volunteer who is not compensated as an employee, notwithstanding the provision of room, board, travel, medical assistance, and other basic living expenses, provided the minister or missionary has been a member of the denomination for at least one year.
(2) Any person who, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has not received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, brings to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever, such alien, regardless of any official action which may later be taken with respect to such alien shall, for each alien in respect to whom a violation of this paragraph occurs—
(B) in the case of—
(i) an offense committed with the intent or with reason to believe that the alien unlawfully brought into the United States will commit an offense against the United States or any State punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year,
(iii) an offense in which the alien is not upon arrival immediately brought and presented to an appropriate immigration officer at a designated port of entry,
be fined under title 18 and shall be imprisoned, in the case of a first or second violation of subparagraph (B)(iii), not more than 10 years, in the case of a first or second violation of subparagraph (B)(i) or (B)(ii), not less than 3 nor more than 10 years, and for any other violation, not less than 5 nor more than 15 years.
(3)
(b) Seizure and forfeiture
(1) In general
Any conveyance, including any vessel, vehicle, or aircraft, that has been or is being used in the commission of a violation of subsection (a) of this section, the gross proceeds of such violation, and any property traceable to such conveyance or proceeds, shall be seized and subject to forfeiture.
(2) Applicable procedures
Seizures and forfeitures under this subsection shall be governed by the provisions of chapter 46 of title 18 relating to civil forfeitures, including section 981(d) of such title, except that such duties as are imposed upon the Secretary of the Treasury under the customs laws described in that section shall be performed by such officers, agents, and other persons as may be designated for that purpose by the Attorney General.
(3) Prima facie evidence in determinations of violations
In determining whether a violation of subsection (a) of this section has occurred, any of the following shall be prima facie evidence that an alien involved in the alleged violation had not received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States or that such alien had come to, entered, or remained in the United States in violation of law:
(A) Records of any judicial or administrative proceeding in which that alien’s status was an issue and in which it was determined that the alien had not received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States or that such alien had come to, entered, or remained in the United States in violation of law.
(B) Official records of the Service or of the Department of State showing that the alien had not received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States or that such alien had come to, entered, or remained in the United States in violation of law.
(C) Testimony, by an immigration officer having personal knowledge of the facts concerning that alien’s status, that the alien had not received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States or that such alien had come to, entered, or remained in the United States in violation of law.
(c) Authority to arrest
No officer or person shall have authority to make any arrests for a violation of any provision of this section except officers and employees of the Service designated by the Attorney General, either individually or as a member of a class, and all other officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal laws.
(d) Admissibility of videotaped witness testimony
Notwithstanding any provision of the Federal Rules of Evidence, the videotaped (or otherwise audiovisually preserved) deposition of a witness to a violation of subsection (a) of this section who has been deported or otherwise expelled from the United States, or is otherwise unable to testify, may be admitted into evidence in an action brought for that violation if the witness was available for cross examination and the deposition otherwise complies with the Federal Rules of Evidence.
(e) Outreach program
[1] So in original. Probably should be “clause”.
The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, as appropriate, shall develop and implement an outreach program to educate the public in the United States and abroad about the penalties for bringing in and harboring aliens in violation of this section.
Notice that the punishments are classified under the purview of Title 18, the section outlining crimes and criminal procedure, specifically, 18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason, which administers the death penalty, imprisonment "not less than five years," and/or a fine "not less than $10,000.00" for bringing in and harboring illegal aliens, with the proviso that the guilty party [if not suffering the death penalty] "shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
Either we follow the laws and the established system of justice in this country, or we are a nation of lawlessness. According to Joseph Story, former Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court (1811-1845), without the regulation of law and the full and impartial administration of justice, no one is safe, there exist no remedies to correct it, and society fails of all its value, returning to a state of savage and barbarous independence.
Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. — 2 Thessalonians 2:3
