What San Francisco did to poor little Yucaipa is a crime

Group homes are an unpopular subject in the Inland Empire, and I've got the scars to prove it.

Why is our state trying to hide illegal drug dealers from the Feds? So, let's get this straight. Our state will give the middle finger to the feds when it comes to illegal, underaged, Hunduras crack dealers....but they will arrest when a medical marijuana, state legal card holder is caught with a joint or a plant? Perhaps this in an example of why our state is referred to as the land of fruits and nuts.

These are criminal actions.

However, the unit of prosecution is now based on each alien in respect to whom a violation occurs.

Knowledge -- Prosecutions for alien smuggling, 8 U.S.C.§ 1324(a)(1)(A)(i) require proof that defendant knew that the person brought to the United States was an alien. With regard to the other violations in 8 U.S.C.§ 1324(a), proof of knowledge or reckless disregard of alienage is sufficient.

Penalties -- The basic statutory maximum penalty for violating 8 U.S.C.§ 1324(a)(1)(i) and (v)(I)(alien smuggling and conspiracy) is a fine under title 18, imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or both. With regard to violations of 8 U.S.C.§ 1324(a)(1)(ii)-(iv) and (v)(ii), domestic transportation, harboring, encouraging/inducing, or aiding/abetting, the basic statutory maximum term of imprisonment is 5 years, unless the offense was committed for commercial advantage or private financial gain, in which case the maximum term of imprisonment is 10 years. In addition, significant enhanced penalties are provided for in violations of 8 U.S.C.§ 1324(a)(1) involving serious bodily injury or placing life in jeopardy. Moreover, if the violation results in the death of any person, the defendant may be punished by death or by imprisonment for any term of years. The basic penalty for a violation of subsection 1324(a)(2) is a fine under title 18, imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, 8 U.S.C.§ 1324(a)(2)(A).

Who is responsible for prosecuting and why are they not?

[Group home Staff]

Yes, I agree with you about some of the group home,but not all of the children are bad. Some of these chidren are in there because thay have ill minded parents with issue. Now for the group homes being in Yucaipa they need a little call because they still have Red Neck that live there. Plus I understand about the Chest pains been there done that . Take care of your health don't worry about group home kids that will pass in time . Trust in the Lord he'll be there for you.

The federal government is responsible for prosecution, DOJ. However, DHS/ICE should go to DOJ and file with them to start the process.
File a complaint with the DOJ and DHS Office of Inspector Generals and complain the government is not doing their jobs.
