With regard to violation of the Constitution. Article I. Section 1 is clear and definitive in its intent when it states "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States. which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." The Presidents blatant attempt to override existing immigration law by executive action is a clear violation of this. With regard to violation of existing federal statutes. 8 USC 1324 Bringing in and harboring certain aliens both prohibits and specifies criminal penalties for bringing to the United States or harboring illegal aliens. In section (a). the law states "Any person who 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." and further describes the penalties as "A person who violates (these sections shall) be fined under title 18. imprisoned not more than 5 years. or both." Further. the Attorney General and the Secretary of State are in additional violation of 8 USC 1324 for not educating the public about the penalties for bringing in and harboring aliens in violation of this law. In section (e). the law states "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." Therefore. the President must immediately cease and desist his actions to impose amnesty by executive action.
