Every once in a while, I come across a meme or something online and I think “that can’t possibly be real”.
And most of the time it’s not.
But every once in a while, I come across one and take the time to Fact Check it, and it turns out to be 100% real….and also pretty mindblowing.
Do you think we need new laws to clean up this country?
Or to prosecute everyone who destroyed this country over the last 4 years?
I don’t.
It sure looks to me like we already have one and it’s called 8 U.S. Code § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv).
We also have a Supreme Court case affirming that law called United States v. Hansen, 599 US 762 and its from 2023.
Take a look:
Of course I don’t write articles based only on memes and I don’t expect you to trust only a meme, so allow me to give you the full text and let’s read it together:
8 U.S. Code § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv):
(a)(1)(A) Any person who—
(iv) 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,
shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).
8 U.S. Code § 1324(a)(1)(B):
(B) A person who violates subparagraph (A) shall, for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs—
(i) be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both;
(ii) if the violation was done for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both;
(iii) if the violation results in the death of any person, be punished by death or imprisonment for any term of years or for life, fined under title 18, or both; and
(iv) if the violation involves the transportation of a minor who is unaccompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and the offense was committed for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.

Here’s a little more breakdown on the law and the recent Supreme Court case from 2023 that absolutely affirmed the law:
Statute Cited:
-
8 U.S. Code § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv): This law criminalizes encouraging or inducing an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the U.S. illegally.
-
The penalties escalate depending on the circumstances (e.g., financial gain, bodily harm, or death).
Case Cited: United States v. Hansen
-
Citation: 599 U.S. 762 (2023)
-
Facts: Helaman Hansen was convicted for encouraging illegal immigration as part of a fraudulent “adult adoption” scheme, in which he falsely claimed immigrants could achieve U.S. citizenship through adult adoption.
-
Outcome: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June 2023 that the statute prohibiting encouraging or inducing illegal immigration was not unconstitutionally overbroad, thus upholding the statute’s constitutionality and reinstating Hansen’s conviction.
Conclusion:
-
Yes, the statute and the Supreme Court case mentioned in the image are both real and accurately described. -
The case is correctly cited, and the interpretation of the statute is consistent with the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling
Yes, the statute and the Supreme Court case mentioned in the image are both real and accurately described.Now, does anyone come to mind who might have violated this law?
Anyone at all?
Perhaps a certain Border Czar?
Or perhaps this guy who said he would make sure we let immigrants “flood the border”:
He’s being very careful in that clip to try and limit his comments to “asylum seekers” but do we really think the full 12 million migrants who entered the USA under Biden were all “asylum seekers”?
What about the plane-fulls and bus-fulls of people Joe Biden shipped into the USA?
How many times was this statue violated?
Hey Pam, maybe worth looking into this one!
