Who is Paying for All These Illegal Aliens?
by Julius Sanks American Thinker
Entering the USA improperly is a crime. The first illegal entry is a misdemeanor; any subsequent entry is a felony. Every illegal alien becomes a criminal simply by entering the country.
The ideological left is crowing that the administration scored a “victory” in United States v. Texas. On June 23, the Supreme Court stated that the administration can set priorities when deciding which illegal aliens to prosecute. But the Court also issued an opinion in United States v. Hansen. That is a more interesting opinion — not that this administration has any intention of abiding by it.
Side note: Before anyone objects to the term “alien,” that is the word Congress uses in the Immigration and Nationality Act — officially Title 8, Aliens and Nationality, of the U.S. Code. The word “alien” appears in Title 8 more than a thousand times; the phrase “illegal alien” 32 times. When Congress changes its terminology, I will consider changing mine.
