Noncitizen Enforcement, Eligibility & Removal
NONCITIZEN ENFORCEMENT, ELIGIBILITY & REMOVAL
POSITION
A noncitizen who enters, remains, works, receives benefits, or commits a crime in the United States is subject to American law and due process. Serious offenders must face prosecution, punishment, restitution, and removal. Unlawful presence does not create eligibility for taxpayer-funded benefits, public education, civilian identification, driving privileges, employment, or voting.
CRIME, PUNISHMENT & REMOVAL
A noncitizen accused of violence, theft, fraud, sexual crime, trafficking, organized crime, serious cybercrime, or another offense involving a victim is tried under the same criminal law and receives the same constitutional protections as anyone else.
A conviction requires the imposed punishment, victim restitution, and other lawful consequences before removal. Removal does not replace accountability to the victim.
For unlawful entry, unlawful presence, or another status-only offense without a victim, a judge may order prompt removal instead of unnecessary detention or additional punishment.
A verified final conviction for a serious violent, sexual, theft, fraud, trafficking, organized-crime, or serious cyber offense creates a permanent bar to admission or reentry.
THIRTY-DAY REMOVAL
A noncitizen subject to a final, executable order of removal must be physically removed from the United States within 30 calendar days. The period begins on the later of the date the order becomes final and every court-ordered stay expires, or the date the person completes or is released from a criminal sentence.
A missed deadline must be documented, audited, and publicly reported without disclosing protected personal information. An agency may not hide a missed deadline through release, reclassification, transfer, or administrative delay.
$25,000 UNLAWFUL-PRESENCE ASSESSMENT
After a final finding of unlawful entry or unlawful presence, the person owes a $25,000 civil assessment in addition to lawful removal costs and any victim restitution. The assessment requires notice, evidence, an opportunity to respond, and judicial review. It may be collected from legally reachable assets or later lawful United States income. Inability to pay does not create indefinite detention or delay removal.
NO PUBLIC BENEFITS OR PUBLIC EDUCATION
A person finally determined to be unlawfully present may not receive any federal, state, county, municipal, or other taxpayer-funded benefit. The prohibition includes cash, food, housing, unemployment, retirement, subsidy, grant, tax credit, nonemergency healthcare, public education at any level, publicly funded tuition, student aid, training, and scholarships.
MPA shall pursue the statutory, judicial, and constitutional changes necessary to establish and enforce the public-education restriction nationwide rather than representing it as existing law.
NO GOVERNMENT PRIVILEGES OR CIVILIAN IDENTIFICATION
A person finally determined to be unlawfully present may not receive a driver's license, learner's permit, driving privilege, state or municipal identification card, professional or occupational license, commercial permit, hunting license, benefit card, voter-registration card, or similar civilian government credential.
Immigration, detention, court, travel, or removal documents may be issued strictly for identification and enforcement. Those documents confer no lawful status, driving authority, license, benefit, or privilege.
LIMITED PUBLIC-SAFETY SERVICES
The criminal-justice system and constitutionally required proceedings remain available for public safety and due process. Communicable-disease testing, treatment, vaccination, quarantine, and containment remain available to protect the public. Emergency medical screening, stabilization, and necessary transfer remain available until the emergency condition is stabilized. These services do not create lawful status or continuing eligibility for a nonemergency benefit.
EMPLOYER CIVIL LIABILITY
An employer that knowingly hires or continues to employ an unauthorized worker owes the greater of $50,000 per worker or three times the wages, taxes, insurance, fees, and other costs intentionally avoided. A repeat knowing violation owes the greater of $100,000 per worker or five times the avoided costs. The employer must also pay back wages and restitution, loses related government contracts, and may lose a business or professional license after notice and a fair hearing.
CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR INTENTIONAL VIOLATIONS
A responsible individual commits a felony by knowingly and intentionally hiring, recruiting, referring, or continuing to employ unauthorized workers; approving or concealing a prohibited taxpayer-funded benefit; falsifying identity, employment, eligibility, or immigration records; or directing another person to do so.
Intentional unauthorized-employment sentences are:
one to four unauthorized workers: one to three years;
five to nineteen unauthorized workers: three to seven years;
twenty to forty-nine unauthorized workers: seven to twelve years;
fifty or more unauthorized workers: twelve to twenty years.
Document fraud, coercion, trafficking, official corruption, obstruction, or a previous conviction moves the offense into at least the next sentencing level. For intentionally providing or concealing prohibited benefits, the sentence is one year for every $150,000, rounded upward, with a minimum of one year and a maximum of twenty years.
Criminal punishment applies only to people who knowingly participated in or directed the violation. A good-faith verification mistake, forged document that a reasonable system did not detect, or ordinary clerical error does not create criminal liability.
PUBLIC-ENTITY ACCOUNTABILITY
A state or local entity that knowingly uses federal money for a prohibited benefit must repay the money. A knowingly false federal reimbursement claim requires repayment plus three times the false amount. Related federal funds may be suspended after notice, evidence, a correction period, and an independent appeal. An official who commits fraud, falsifies records, or obstructs an audit faces personal civil and criminal liability. No government is fined merely for a policy disagreement or refusal to perform an optional federal function.
DUE PROCESS & MEASUREMENT
Every status, benefit, employment, assessment, and removal decision requires reliable evidence, written notice, access to the material record, an opportunity to respond, an impartial decision, and meaningful review. Public reporting should track final orders, removal time, criminal cases completed before removal, assessments collected, employer audits, good-faith error rates, restitution, benefit recoveries, appeals, reversals, and missed deadlines.
Core MPA standard: Apply American law. Protect victims first. Remove unlawful entrants promptly after due process. Deny unauthorized employment and taxpayer-funded privileges. Punish knowing facilitators, not honest mistakes.
