After reading about Trump’s latest update on illegals continuing to reside in the U.S., it appears that the time has come for each illegal individual to make a decision as to what he/she is going to do.
From Epoch Times:
“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued an internal rule change that went into effect on April 11, creating a registry for foreign nationals. Registration of noncitizens residing in the country is required by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.
The Alien Registration Act of 1940, also known as the Smith Act, generally requires all foreign nationals staying in the country beyond 30 days to apply to register and get fingerprinted, but it hasn’t always been enforced.
DHS’s registration requirement must be completed by those 14 or older if they didn’t do so in the past. Once registered and fingerprinted, DHS will issue evidence of registration, which foreign nationals “over the age of 18 must carry and keep in their personal possession at all times.”
Parents will need to register their children younger than 14, then re-register them when they turn 14.
Failure to comply may result in criminal and civil penalties, up to and including misdemeanor prosecution, fines, and jail time, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, said the new rule will help the government document the unknown millions of immigrants who entered the country unlawfully over the past four years.
“If you think about it, we have no idea who’s here,” she told The Epoch Times. “So it was a perfect time to say, ‘Oh, by the way, I’m reminding you of this registry requirement, and if you don’t comply, that makes you deportable.’”
The DHS also plans to fine illegal immigrants under deportation orders up to $998 a day if they don’t leave the United States.
The fines stem from a 1996 law that Trump used during his first term to pressure illegal immigrants to self-deport.
Ries noted that the fines are aimed at the 1.4 million illegal immigrants who have final deportation orders issued by a judge.
On March 15, the administration launched an international, multimillion-dollar ad campaign featuring DHS Secretary Kristi Noem warning illegal immigrants to self-deport.
“If you are here illegally, we will find you and deport you. You will never return. But if you leave now, you may have an opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American dream,” she says during the video.”
Those on the left will scream and holler as soon as what is being threatened actually starts to occur.
However, they should reflect upon whom their anger should be directed … Joe Biden and the Democrats!
The time has come for every illegal to make their own decision, as I do not think that Trump is bluffing!
