What if they were the children of terrorists, or the child of Osama bin Laden? Is trying to obtain information about their parents where abouts ethically wrong in that case?
Or a murderor?
What if they were felons?
What if they just stoled from a market in town?
Are there some crimes that warrent police action and others that don't? Because investigating becomes unethical if it disturbs peoples lives? So obtaining records which provide evidence of a crime, is wrong because the crime isn't serious enough?
Under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who:
Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or
Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or
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;
has committed a federal crime.
Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison. Additional civil fines may be imposed at the discretion of immigration judges, but civil fines do not negate the criminal sanctions or nature of the offense. |
I'll repeat what my dad told them... Show me a warrant or fuck off. All of those things can be obtained via a warrant for that information. This is a country of rules and process. Going infront of a judge and proving you need this information is part of this process.
