Undocumented Woman Sues to Get Medical Attention for her Unborn Child
Published September 02, 2011
A pregnant undocumented woman in Nebraska filed a lawsuit against the
state government and legislature in which she argues that the mother's
immigration situation must not result in the denial of medical care
for her unborn baby.
The woman, using the pseudonym "Sarah Roe," has three other children
and loves with her husband in Lancaster County, where she filed the
suit last week.
The suit contends that the Nebraska Medical Assistance Act includes
unborn babies in the category of children under 19 who qualify to
receive free medical treatment without regard to the immigration
situation of their parents.
In June, a law went into force in Nebraska prohibiting the provision
of free prenatal medical services to undocumented foreigners.

We aren't "coddeling". The conditions many of these people live and
work in would bring tears to your eyes.
The wealthy get richer by employing undocumented workers. Wages for
the rest of the middle class are depressed. Instead of wanting to
punish the poor who are only looking for a better life for themselves
and their children, we should be going after those who employ these
people. Throw a dozen are so in prison and poof, there goes the whole
problem. No jobs, no mass migration.
But to attack the poor, you come across as a bully. The wealthy laugh
at the infighting for the few crumbs left for all but the top 10% of
the population.
So shoot the people that hire the "undocumented" workers ie invaders and
ship the invaders home.

If they are here, aned looiking for work, then I, and others, will employ
them. It is not our re3sponsibility to police undocument people. That's the
government's job, and we pay a big tax bill to then for doing it. If they
can't do it, then whose fault is that? I will employ anyone who comes to my
door looking for work. For sure, those "documented" bums who live down under
the freeway overpass smoking dope won't ever come to my door asking for
work. They are too busy collecting their unemployment checks. It is
significant to me, that since I have been retired, the only people who have
come to my door asking for work are Mexicans who can barely speak English.
And they always do a good job for the money I pay them.

Federal Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)
"Any person who . . . encourages or induces an alien to . . .
reside . . . knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such . .
. residence is . . . in violation of law, shall be punished as provided
. . . for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs . . .
fined under title 18 . . . imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."
Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality
Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):
A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or
local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:
* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in
the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting,
sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or
* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him
or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer
in any way, or
* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.
Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment, and
forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime.
Anyone employing or contracting with an illegal alien without verifying
his or her work authorization status is guilty of a misdemeanor. Aliens
and employers violating immigration laws are subject to arrest,
detention, and seizure of their vehicles or property. In addition,
individuals or entities who engage in racketeering enterprises that
commit (or conspire to commit) immigration-related felonies are subject
to private civil suits for treble damages and injunctive relief.
Recruitment and Employment of Illegal Aliens
It is unlawful to hire an alien, to recruit an alien, or to refer
an alien for a fee, knowing the alien is unauthorized to work in the
United States. It is equally unlawful to continue to employ an alien
knowing that the alien is unauthorized to work. Employers may give
preference in recruitment and hiring to a U.S. citizen over an alien
with work authorization only where the U.S. citizen is equally or better
qualified. It is unlawful to hire an individual for employment in the
United States without complying with employment eligibility verification
requirements. Requirements include examination of identity documents and
completion of Form I-9 for every employee hired. Employers must retain
all I-9s, and, with three days' advance notice, the forms must be made
available for inspection. Employment includes any service or labor
performed for any type of remuneration within the United States, with
the exception of sporadic domestic service by an individual in a private
home. Day laborers or other casual workers engaged in any compensated
activity (with the above exception) are employees for purposes of
immigration law. An employer includes an agent or anyone acting directly
or indirectly in the interest of the employer. For purposes of
verfication of authorization to work, employer also means an independent
contractor, or a contractor other than the person using the alien labor.
The use of temporary or short-term contracts cannot be used to
circumvent the employment authorization verification requirements. If
employment is to be for less than the usual three days allowed for
completing the I-9 Form requirement, the form must be completed
immediately at the time of hire.
An employer has constructive knowledge that an employee is an
illegal unauthorized worker if a reasonable person would infer it from
the facts. Constructive knowledge constituting a violation of federal
law has been found where (1) the I-9 employment eligibility form has not
been properly completed, including supporting documentation, (2) the
employer has learned from other individuals, media reports, or any
source of information available to the employer that the alien is
unauthorized to work, or (3) the employer acts with reckless disregard
for the legal consequences of permitting a third party to provide or
introduce an illegal alien into the employer's work force. Knowledge
cannot be inferred solely on the basis of an individual's accent or
foreign appearance.
Actual specific knowledge is not required. For example, a newspaper
article stating that ballrooms depend on an illegal alien work force of
dance hostesses was held by the courts to be a reasonable ground for
suspicion that unlawful conduct had occurred.
IT IS ILLEGAL FOR NONPROFIT OR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS to knowingly
assist an employer to violate employment sanctions, REGARDLESS OF CLAIMS
THAT THEIR CONVICTIONS REQUIRE THEM TO ASSIST ALIENS. Harboring or
aiding illegal aliens is not protected by the First Amendment. It is a
felony to establish a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading
any provision of federal immigration law. Violators may be fined or
imprisoned for up to five years.
Encouraging and Harboring Illegal Aliens
It is a violation of law for any person to conceal, harbor, or
shield from detection in any place, including any building or means of
transportation, any alien who is in the United States in violation of
law. HARBORING MEANS ANY CONDUCT THAT TENDS TO SUBSTANTIALLY FACILITATE
AN ALIEN TO REMAIN IN THE U.S. ILLEGALLY. The sheltering need not be
clandestine, and harboring covers aliens arrested outdoors, as well as
in a building. This provision includes harboring an alien who entered
the U.S. legally but has since lost his legal status.
An employer can be convicted of the felony of harboring illegal
aliens who are his employees if he takes actions in reckless disregard
of their illegal status, such as ordering them to obtain false
documents, altering records, obstructing INS inspections, or taking
other actions that facilitate the alien's illegal employment. Any person
who within any 12-month period hires ten or more individuals with actual
knowledge that they are illegal aliens or unauthorized workers is guilty
of felony harboring. It is also a felony to encourage or induce an alien
to come to or reside in the U.S. knowing or recklessly disregarding the
fact that the alien's entry or residence is in violation of the law.
This crime applies to any person, rather than just employers of illegal
aliens. Courts have ruled that "encouraging" includes counseling illegal
aliens to continue working in the U.S. or assisting them to complete
applications with false statements or obvious errors. The fact that the
alien is a refugee fleeing persecution is not a defense to this felony,
since U.S. law and the UN Protocol on Refugees both require that a
refugee must report to immigration authorities without delay upon entry
to the U.S.
The penalty for felony harboring is a fine and imprisonment for up
to five years. The penalty for felony alien smuggling is a fine and up
to ten years' imprisonment. Where the crime causes serious bodily injury
or places the life of any person in jeopardy, the penalty is a fine and
up to twenty years' imprisonment. If the criminal smuggling or harboring
results in the death of any person, the penalty can include life
imprisonment. Convictions for aiding, abetting, or conspiracy to commit
alien smuggling or harboring, carry the same penalties. Courts can
impose consecutive prison sentences for each alien smuggled or harbored.
A court may order a convicted smuggler to pay restitution if the alien
smuggled qualifies as a victim under the Victim and Witness Protection
Act. Conspiracy to commit crimes of sheltering, harboring, or employing
illegal aliens is a separate federal offense punishable by a fine of up
to $10,000 or five years' imprisonment.
Enforcement
A person or entity having knowledge of a violation or potential
violation of employer sanctions provisions may submit a signed written
complaint to the INS office with jurisdiction over the business or
residence of the potential violator, whether an employer, employee, or
agent. The complaint must include the names and addresses of both the
complainant and the violator, and detailed factual allegations,
including date, time, and place of the potential violation, and the
specific conduct alleged to be a violation of employer sanctions. By
regulation, the INS will only investigate third-party complaints that
have a reasonable probability of validity. Designated INS officers and
employees, and all other officers whose duty it is to enforce criminal
laws, may make an arrest for violation of smuggling or harboring illegal
aliens.
State and local law enforcement officials have the general power to
investigate and arrest violators of federal immigration statutes without
prior INS knowledge or approval, as long as they are authorized to do so
by state law. There is no extant federal limitation on this authority.
The 1996 immigration control legislation passed by Congress was intended
to encourage states and local agencies to participate in the process of
enforcing federal immigration laws. Immigration officers and local law
enforcement officers may detain an individual for a brief warrantless
interrogation where circumstances create a reasonable suspicion that the
individual is illegally present in the U.S. Specific facts constituting
a reasonable suspicion include evasive, nervous, or erratic behavior;
dress or speech indicating foreign citizenship; and presence in an area
known to contain a concentration of illegal aliens. Hispanic appearance
alone is not sufficient. Immigration officers and police must have a
valid warrant or valid employer's consent to enter workplaces or
residences. Any vehicle used to transport or harbor illegal aliens, or
used as a substantial part of an activity that encourages illegal aliens
to come to or reside in the U.S. may be seized by an immigration officer
and is subject to forfeiture. The forfeiture power covers any
conveyances used within the U.S.
RICO -- Citizen Recourse
Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to obtain
injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or
actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud
statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
(RICO). The pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of
two or more of the listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any
individual legal entity, or a group of individuals who are not a legal
entity but are associated in fact, AND CAN INCLUDE NONPROFIT ASSOCIATIONS.
Tax Crimes
Employers who aid or abet the preparation of false tax returns by
failing to pay income or Social Security taxes for illegal alien
employees, or who knowingly make payments using false names or Social
Security numbers, are subject to IRS criminal and civil sanctions. U.S.
nationals who have suffered intentional discrimination because of
citizenship or national origin by an employer with more than three
employees may file a complaint within 180 days of the discriminatory act
with the Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment
Practices, U.S. Department of Justice. In additon to the federal
statutes summarized, state laws and local ordinances controlling fair
labor practices, workers compensation, zoning, safe housing and rental
property, nuisance, licensing, street vending, and solicitations by
contractors may also apply to activities that involve illegal aliens.

Oh STFU. You're just a corporate shill paid to come here and support
these parasites who steal jobs, benefits, and identities from
americans. Plus they kill thousands of americans every year by their
serial DUI.

fund your own charities
deport these criminals asap by any means necessary
You just admitted you're a criminal who knowingly hires illegals.!!!
Why don't you do us a favor and shoot yourself.?

large fines
it also makes you something other than an American
I have driven through such areas (such as around Lake Okeechobee in
Florida) and Mrs. Irish is right. it was reminiscent of the slave
quarters I saw in Monticello.

I see you're still pushing that national ID crap.
1. Your national ID idea will accomplish no more than will the new
state ID requirements.

There's three ways to do it.
1 - One can impersonate another who has bona fide documents and use these.
2 - One can make fake documents and hope no one looks closely.
3 - Or, one can use documentation manufactured by certain government
agencies.
Most states have tightened requirements and effectively eliminate #1 and #2.
It takes more than a birth certificate to get license. Most citizens
have no problem
demonstrating their bona fides and those few that do can establish
authenticity by tracing
residency history and through personal affirmation.
IMO 99% of illegal aliens stand out like sore thumbs.

Times have changed.
Government(s) has shot its wad. Whatever it used to do or why, is academic.
The people are fed up with lies and corruption and understand their
perilous
situation. It's only a matter of time until a massive backlash occurs.
America has always allowed immigration, legally. Because of the large
numbers of illegal immigrants, legal immigrant numbers are reduced.
America has a problem with demographics. The Baby Boomers are getting
old and there are not enough young people to care for them all.
Legal immigration could bulk up the numbers of workers needed.
But illegal immigrants have nothing vested in America. They are not
given the rights and responsibilities of legal resident, let alone a
citizen.
No freaking way can you deport 12 million people. It would be perhaps
the greatest migration in the history of the planet.
To stop illegal immigration we must start throwing the employers in
prison and have them forfeit their ill-gotten gains.
Pardon me, but I don't, "knowingly hire illegals". I haven't a clue whether
they are illegal or not. They drive, because they get here via pick-up
truck, so they probably have driver's licenses, and as far as I know, there
is no other identification required of any citizen in this country besides a
drivers license. For sure, that's the only identification I carry in my own
wallet.
This is my point. The government expects us to do their police work for
them, but doesn't provide us with any way to seperate the legals from the
illegals we are supposed to be policing. As usual and as expected, they (the
government) are a bunch of illogical screw ups.
As I said above:
I'm not so sure. I am convinced that most of my fellow Americans are very
stupid. Especially the ones who call themselves "liberals". These idiots
all seem to believe the government is all knowing, all powerful and
uncorruptable. - Kind of like God. They laugh at the conservatives who
believe in a god, but they are even stupider.... They think the government
is god....:^)
Its simple economics. When those hippies down under the freeway come to my
door and give me a decent days work for their money, then I will stop hiring
the Mexacans. But until then, just what do you expect? I am 76 and can't do
a lot of things around my property anymore. I have to hire those who are
willing to do it for me. My government takes my tax dollars and gives it to
bums for doing nothing but smoke dope. Then, when I am forced to hire
illegal Mexicans, they are angry with me. give me a break! I not only
didn't create this situation, but I had no part in continuing it. If I had
my way, I would enslave the dumb liberals who are responsible for it.
(except they are too stupid to be able to do the work)

Stop all HUD subsidized housing, Food Stamps and all welfare programs.
End all tax deductions for children and all so-called Earned Income
Credits. Issue every person in the country that is not a citizen a green
card so we can collect income taxes. You will see millions of undocumented
workers and their families self deport.
We could even offer them a one way ticket by bus or airplane to their
home land.
They're not slaves. They chose to come here and steal from
americans. Hang all illegals before they destroy america like they
did california.
That's ludicrous. Colonists including their children are colonists.
> 2.. Deny all govt benefits to illegals especially free health care at
> ERs and free school for illegal kids
>
> 3. Mandate e-verify for all jobs
As long as the Mexican Government's consulates and its allied Latino
government's consulates are in the USA, that won't happen.
The people who come here illegally owe no alliance with the USA.
The people who hire the those here illegally, are for the most part
Americans. These Americans should be held responsible for breaking US
laws. They are the ones benefiting from America and yet thumb their
nose at the law.
I promise you, most Mexicans would go home if there were no jobs. If
all of a sudden, there were no jobs for those here illegally, the
border patrol would have to act as traffic cops for the large traffic
jams as all those from south of the border returned to their
homelands.
And I promise, if you were to throw a few CEOs in prison for turning
a blind eye to the hiring people he is not allowed to hire, then every
other CEO would then strongly direct his company to screen carefully
for the right to work here. Throwing everyone responsible for illegal
hiring would be cheaper than trying to deport 12 million people.
Some traitor suggested it is not his responsibility to screen for the
right to work. Does not citizen status come with responsibility? Are
we not obliged to serve jury duty, Doesn't a good citizen pay taxes?
If there are no responsibility to be law abiding, we are all criminals
unless held by the point of a gun to do the right thing..
I don't want "illegal aliens" here either. It suppresses wages and it
invites civil rights violations. Trying to build a wall, when most who
are here illegally came here legally, will be a huge drain on our
defense dollars.
America had for many years a large open border with Mexico. There
wasn't a large illegal worker problem until recently. The difference
is that no employer would hire anyone not legally authorized to do the
work. During the past few decades, our employers have all become
traitors to the middle class, and sell our security for a dollar.
Everyone agrees with that. Businessmen who hire illegals should do
hard time. One more reason we need to mandate e-verify for all
jobs. Make it much tougher for these CEOs to cry "i didn't know he
was illegal".
Then go to e-verify. It is simple fast, easy, and free. Be part of the
solution or be part of the problem.
How about making is much less tough for someone (anyone) to identify who is
legal and who is not? Right now, all we need is a driver's license, or, at
least, that's all I've ever needed to show any employer I have ever had.
And this is your answer to my point? Why do I waste my time talking to you?
( You were probably president of your college debating society) No wonder
this country is going to hell in a handbasket......
The pills go into your mouth, not your pocket.
Old people in nursing homes is not the problem. If you own a
business, you either have a computer or you know someone who does. Go
to the E-verify web site, enter the Social Security number, and viola!
you know if you have a legal worker.
Here you'll find of list of states that require E-verify for new
employees. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Verify
The laws could be tighter. The E-verify program could be better, but
this is a good start on figuring who is in our country, and how many.
Once we have a handle on who is immigrating we can then control the
numbers and the quality. For every illiterate immigrant that sneaks
in, a qualified immigrant is turned away.
