By virtue of the Supremacy clause, the Plymouth Police Department and Dana Flynn, or any entity in our Commonwealth, have no authority to obstruct, ignore or interpret for personal purposes any federal law, nor authority to create new laws at a whim, nor authority to exercise discretionary enforcement. State law does not supersede federal law. The burden of servicing [undocumented immigrants] placed upon our citizens by our governor and Legislature is onerous and should never have been allowed.
Per the “US Constitution Article VI, clause 2: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
All Federal Laws are Supreme, as is Federal Law 8 US Code 1325 – Improper entry by alien.
(a) Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts.
Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.”
This law includes marriage fraud to enter the country and immigration related entrepreneurship fraud. There should be no confusion on this issue.
