Measure 88 would go against Immigration Act

The Citizen petition drive that forced Measure 88 to the ballot this November, temporarily saved legislators, who drafted this bill and voted to enact it, along with our Governor who signed it, from committing felonies described below:

Section 274 FELONIES

Immigration & Naturalization Act 274A(a)(1)(A): [condensed]

A person (including a group, business, organization, or local government) commits federal felony when they:

Assist aliens s/he reasonably suspects lack authorization, or illegally in the U.S., by transporting, sheltering or assisting them.

Knowingly assist illegal aliens due to personal convictions.

Encouraging and Harboring Illegal Aliens: It violates law to conceal, harbor or shield from detection in any place, any building or means of transportation, any alien in the United States in violation of law. Harboring is conduct that substantially facilitates an alien to remain in the U.S. illegally.

Penalty for felony harboring: fine and imprisonment up to five years; if bodily injury or jeopardy to life results, up to twenty years; if a death occurs, penalty can be life.

Don't let misplaced compassion make you an accessory to this unlawful legislation. Oregon as sanctuary for undocumented aliens by granting driving privileges isn't in the best interest of legal residents. It¡¦s inevitable that crimes like vehicular assault/homicide, drug running, human trafficking, welfare abuse, voter fraud and gang violence will all increase not things Oregonians should welcome or encourage.

Please vote no on Measure 88!
