 POLITICIANS MUST FACE CONSEQUENCES FOR CRIMES THEY ENABLE:


Malfeasant politicians must find no “sanctuary”

Hi Gang:
On June 12, 2019 FrontPage published my latest article:


“Adding fuel to the blazing fire that is the obvious crisis along the
border, the Democrat-controlled Congress just passed a new version of the
DREAM Act, as reported by CBS News on June 5, 2019, House passes latest
DREAM Act, hoping to place millions of immigrants on path to citizenship
<https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dream-and-promise-act-2019-passes-house-approv
es-bill-that-would-place-millions-of-immigrants-on-path-to-citizenship/
> .

At the same time it was reported, California Lawmakers Move to Expand
Medicaid for Illegal Immigrants
<https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/06/07/california-lawmakers-move-to-expand-
medicaid-for-illegal-immigrants/
> .
Rather than deter illegal immigration, these legislative actions
incentivize illegal immigration.

A section of the INA, 8 U.S. Code § 1324
<https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1324> , establishes crimes that
relate to the smuggling of aliens into the United States as well as the
harboring, shielding such aliens from detection. 

That section of law also deems it to be a crime to encourage or induce
aliens to enter the United States illegally or remain in the United States
illegally or otherwise aids or abets these crimes or crimes relating to
conspiracies to commit these crimes.

This law seemingly only applies to “mere” citizens but not to our political
elites.

Either through litigation and/or elections, those politicians who obstruct
immigration law enforcement and thus fail to adhere to their oaths of office
and Constitutional responsibilities, must be made accountable.”—Michael
Cutler

Malfeasant politicians must find no “sanctuary”

Kindly forward this e-mail to your senators and congressional
representatives and to as many folks as you can and then ask that those to
whom you send this forward it along to everyone they can- I am attempting to
create a “Bucket Brigade of Truth!
Please remember to listen to my radio show, “The Michael Cutler Hour” on
BlogTalk Radio on Friday evenings at 7:00 PM, Eastern Time, and find
podcasts of my previous programs at:   
  USA Talk Radio <http://www.blogtalkradio.com/usatalkradio
My article today is predicated on the arrest of a law enforcement officer
who is being prosecuted for allegedly failing to act to protect the children
of the school in Parkland, Florida last year during a mass shooting.
He is facing criminal prosecution for multiple alleged crimes connected to
his failure to act.
As I read the accounts of this ongoing case, I had a moment of clarity
wherein I contrasted the consequences he faces for allegedly not acting to
protect children with the way that political “leaders” fail to protect
America and Americans from the dangers posed by unsecured borders and the
promulgation of so-called “Sanctuary” policies that all too frequently
result in innocent people being injured or killed.  However these
politicians face no consequences, whatsoever!
I provided a case in point where two alleged members of MS-13 were released
from custody in spite of a detainer having been lodged by ICE.  They had
initially been charged with a series of crimes including attempted murder.
Upon their release they allegedly brutally murdered a 14 year old girl
Across America politicians are guilty of malfeasance but do so with utter
impunity and utter contempt for our laws, our nation’s security and the
lives of those who live within the United States.
You could say that they are “getting away with murder!"
 Ignorance is not bliss.  Knowledge is power, so my article provides some
cold hard facts for you to consider and hopefully share with others.
If you like my article I ask that you make a point of posting it on
FaceBook and other social media and forward this e-mail to as many folks as
you can.  It is important to dispel the lies and nonsense about the true
nature and significance of effective immigration law enforcement in this
particularly perilous era.
Being “Pro-Enforcement” is not “Anti-Immigrant.”  Indeed, advocates for
immigration anarchy are actually taking an “Anti-Immigrant” position by
obfuscating the line that separates lawful immigrants from illegal aliens.
To provide a bit of clarity, while we are indeed a “Nation of immigrants”
America is not a nation of trespassers.  The difference between an immigrant
and an illegal alien is comparable to the difference between a houseguest
and a burglar.
Americans must be willing to stand their ground and not be intimidated by
the false accusations- far too much hangs in the balance!  We must speak out
against mayors and governors who create “Sanctuary Cities” and “Sanctuary
States.”

Malfeasant politicians must find no “sanctuary”.

June 12, 2019

Michael Cutler <https://www.frontpagemag.com/author/michael-cutler

The phrase, Failure is Not An Option
<https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/141499.Failure_is_Not_an_Option>
served as the title of the book written by Gene Kranz, Flight Director for
NASA who helped create the U.S. manned space program and was instrumental in
successfully returning the crew of Apollo 13 to the earth after their
spacecraft suffered a catastrophic explosion half-way to the moon.
In most professions, especially where lives are on the line, failure to do
the job is not an option.  This is particularly true where law enforcement
and the military are concerned.  
Politicians, not unlike members of the military and law enforcement
officers, take oaths of office where they swear (affirm) that they will
enforce our laws and defend the Constitution.  While law enforcement
officers and members of the armed forces may face dire consequences for
violating their oaths of office, politicians generally do not.
Their oaths of office do not provide an “escape clause” whereby they may
opt to ignore any of the laws that are not to their liking.
Unlike the entries on the menu of a restaurant where the patrons order the
food that they find palatable or where they may substitute one item on the
menu for another, their oaths of office demand that those who take that oath
agree to enforce all laws and honor and defend all of the provisions of our
Constitution.
Dereliction of duty is a serious offense for members of the armed forces
and for law enforcement officers and one that carries significant
consequences.
On June 4, 2019 ABC News reported, Police arrest ex-deputy who 'did
absolutely nothing to mitigate' Parkland school massacre
<https://abcnews.go.com/US/sheriffs-deputy-arrested-connection-parkland-scho
ol-shooting/story?id=63487102
> .
We will not delve in the specifics of this ongoing case, but it is
important to note that the deputy sheriff in this case has been charged with
multiple crimes, some of which are felonies, all emanating from his alleged
failures to act to protect the children who were killed in that school.
Contrast how that deputy is being prosecuted for alleged failures to act
with the politicians who, with impunity, demand that law enforcement
officers not act to cooperate with immigration law enforcement personnel -
even when those actions result in the death of innocent victims.
The outrageous assertions that “Sanctuary” policies protect immigrants from
immigration law enforcement are blatant lies.  Law abiding aliens,
immigrants and non-immigrants alike, need no protection from ICE
(Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents..
Aliens who violate our immigration laws, however, pose a threat to national
security and public safety.  The 9/11 Commission was crystal clear that the
terror attacks of September 11, 2001 and other such attacks conducted by
aliens in the United States were only possible because of multiple failures
of the immigration system.
In fact, I would argue that violations of our borders and immigration laws
must be seen as violations of our Constitution.
Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution provides:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican
Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on
Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature
cannot be convened) against domestic violence.
Invasion is defined, in part, as an incursion by a large number of people
or things into a place or sphere of activity or an unwelcome intrusion into
another's domain.
My recent article, Sanctuary Policies Kill
<https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/273877/sanctuary-policies-kill-michael-cut
ler> , included a link to a May 21, 2019 ICE press release, ICE seeks
custody of teen murder suspects for a second time
<https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-seeks-custody-teen-murder-suspects-se
cond-time
> - Local jurisdiction failed to honor previous detainers which
began with this excerpt:
BALTIMORE – Following the recent arrest of two unlawfully present teens
suspected in the violent murder of a young girl in Maryland, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations
(ERO) officers in Baltimore are again seeking to take custody of the illegal
aliens through the ICE detainer process following the Prince George’s County
Detention Center’s (PGCDC) failure to cooperate.
Josue Rafael Fuentes-Ponce and Joel Ernesto Escobar, both Salvadoran
nationals, were previously arrested on May 11, 2018 when they were arrested
by Prince George’s County Police Department (PGCPD) for attempted
first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, participation in gang
activity, conspiracy to commit murder, attempted robbery, and other related
charges. ICE officers lodged a detainer with PGCDC, however both were
released on an unknown date and time without notification to ICE.
On May 16, 2019, PGCPD arrested the same individuals and charged them with
first-degree murder.
That girl who was killed was stabbed and bludgeoned to death was just 14
years old, roughly the same age as some of the children who were shot to
death at the Parkland school massacre.
She is no less dead than are the victims of the school shooting in Florida
and her life is no less valuable.
Had the officials of Prince George’s County honored the ICE detainer, that
young girl would still be alive today.
Tragically and infuriatingly, this is not an isolated case.  This refusal
by “Sanctuary” jurisdictions to cooperate with ICE occurs across the United
States with sickening regularity and all too frequently with innocent people
being killed.
Malfeasance has been defined as the performance by a public official of an
act that is legally unjustified, harmful, or contrary to law.
It would certainly appear that the promulgation of “Sanctuary” policies
constitutes malfeasance.
Furthermore, when the political leaders of a jurisdiction order law
enforcement officers who are under their command to ignore immigration laws,
they are inducing/coercing malfeasance by those sworn law enforcement
officers.
Our nation’s borders and our nation’s immigration laws make no distinction
about race, religion or ethnicity.  They were enacted to prevent the entry
and continued presence of aliens who pose a threat to public safety,
national security and the lives and livelihoods of Americans.
A review of one of the sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA), 8 U.S. Code § 1182 <https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1182>
that enumerates the categories of aliens who are to be excluded from
entering the United States dispels any doubts about the nature of our
immigration laws.
Additionally, multiple failures of the House and Senate to fund a border
wall, provide funding for enhancing the enforcement of our immigration laws
from within the interior of, and provide legal remedies to failure of the
immigration laws particularly where political asylum and the Flores Decision
<https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2016/07/06/15-56434.pdf>
are concerned, further exacerbates the immigration crisis.
Adding fuel to the blazing fire that is the obvious crisis along the
border, the Democrat-controlled Congress just passed a new version of the
DREAM Act, as reported by CBS News on June 5, 2019, House passes latest
DREAM Act, hoping to place millions of immigrants on path to citizenship
<https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dream-and-promise-act-2019-passes-house-approv

Michael Cutler is a retired Senior Special Agent of the former INS
(Immigration and Naturalization Service) whose career spanned some 30 years.
He served as an Immigration Inspector, Immigration Adjudications Officer and
spent 26 years as an agent who rotated through all of the squads within the
Investigations Branch. For half of his career he was assigned to the Drug
Task Force. He has testified before well over a dozen congressional
hearings, provided testimony to the 9/11 Commission as well as state
legislative hearings around the United States and at trials where
immigration is at issue. He hosts his radio show, “The Michael Cutler Hour

BlogTalk Radio. His personal website is http://michaelcutler.net/.
**********************************************************************
The findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission must be the
starting point for any discussion about immigration legislation.  That
commission determined that a lack of border security, including the visa
process. and fraud in the immigration benefits program, enabled terrorists
to enter and embed themselves in the United States, as they went about their
deadly preparations.
Immigration is not a single issue but a singular issue that impacts nearly
every challenge and threat confronting the United States today!  Simply
stated, the immigration laws were enacted to save lives and protect the jobs
of American workers.  In point of fact, our borders and our immigration laws
are America’s first line of defense and last line of defense against
international terrorists and transnational criminals.


It is not “Anti-Immigrant” to be “Pro-American”  it is also not
“Anti-Immigrant” to be pro-immigration law enforcement!
Our armed forces are charged with securing America’s borders externally
while the DHS is supposed to secure those same borders from within.  The
failures of the DHS to live up to its half of the equation are undermining
the efforts, valor and incredible sacrifices of Americas men and women who
serve in our military!
If our government's failures to protect American jobs by securing our
nation's borders and effectively enforcing our immigration laws concerns you
or especially if it angers you, I ask you to call your Senators and
Congressional "Representative. This is not only your right- it is your
obligation! 
All I ask is that you make it clear to our politicians that we are not as
dumb as they hope we are!

We live in a perilous world and in a perilous era. The survival of our
nation and the lives of our citizens hang in the balance.

American Lives Matter!
This is neither a Conservative issue, nor is it a Liberal issue- simply
stated, this is most certainly an AMERICAN issue!
You are either part of the solution or you are a part of the problem!
Democracy is not a spectator sport!
Lead, follow or get out of the way!
