Petition to Halt Unvetted Immigration & Secure America's Borders

Addressed To:

• The United States Congress

• The President of the United States

• The United States Supreme Court

• The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

• The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

• The Department of Defense (DOD)

• The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

• All State Legislatures & Governors

We, the undersigned, exercise our right to petition for redress of grievances under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, demanding the immediate halt of unvetted immigration and the restoration of constitutional border security to protect American nationals and citizens, our states, and our national sovereignty. Unvetted immigration has jeopardized national security, undermined state sovereignty, threatened domestic tranquility, and placed Americans at risk—all while American-born citizens and nationals are subject to stringent verification and identification processes to access their own country’s benefits and privileges.

Grievance:

The Unconstitutional Breach of Our Borders & National Security Threat

The unprecedented influx of unvetted immigrants into the United States violates the Constitution, national security protocols, and the fundamental right of American citizens and nationals to a secure homeland.

Congress is granted the power to establish uniform rules of naturalization. Unvetted immigration violates this constitutional mandate, as no uniform system is being upheld.

The Constitution explicitly states that the government must “insure domestic tranquility.” The lack of border security has led to increased crime, human trafficking, and the erosion of community safety.

The oath of office taken by public officials requires them to uphold the Constitution and protect the nation from threats. Allowing unvetted immigrants into law enforcement and military roles contradicts this duty and presents a serious risk to public safety.

American citizens and nationals are required to show identification, comply with strict verification laws, and follow due process for jobs, benefits, and legal privileges. Illegal immigrants, in contrast, are allowed entry without documentation or compliance. This violates the Equal Protection Clause, which mandates that laws apply fairly to all individuals under U.S. jurisdiction.

The DoD permits the use of deadly force against civilians in certain circumstances (DoD 5240.01 Sec 3.3(c)). Introducing unvetted individuals into the military and law enforcement endangers American citizens and our constitutional protections against unlawful use of force.

Legal Standing:

Constitutional & Case Law Precedents

1.  The U.S. Constitution

The U.S. Constitution’s Guarantee Clause (Article IV, Section 4) states: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.” By failing to secure the border, the federal government is violating its duty to protect the states from invasion. The Tenth Amendment reserves powers to the states that are not delegated to the federal government. States have the right to enforce their own border laws when the federal government fails to protect their citizens.

2.  Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387 (2012)

Established that states have a role in enforcing immigration laws and can take action when federal enforcement is lacking.

3.  United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

Affirmed that citizenship must be clearly defined and governed by law. The current lack of vetting contradicts this legal precedent.

4.  Texas v. United States, 809 F.3d 134 (5th Cir. 2015)

The federal government was found to have overstepped its authority in granting broad immigration benefits without congressional approval. Unchecked executive policies allowing unvetted immigrants to remain violate federal law.

5.  Trump v. Hawaii, 138 S. Ct. 2392 (2018)

Ruled that the President has broad authority to restrict immigration based on national security concerns. Immediate action must be taken to secure the border against national security threats.

Redress of Grievance:

Our Demands

We, the People, demand immediate action to halt unvetted immigration and secure our nation’s borders, in accordance with the Constitution, national security laws, and state sovereignty rights.

1. Immediate Enforcement of U.S. Immigration Laws & Border Security

The southern border must be secured immediately, using military and National Guard resources if necessary. Illegal crossings must be prevented, and all individuals entering the country must be properly vetted.

2. Mandatory Vetting of All Immigrants & Immigration Applicants

No individual should be granted entry into the U.S. without full identity verification, criminal background checks, and compliance with immigration law. Asylum applicants must prove a legitimate claim, with immediate deportation for fraudulent claims.

3. Investigation into Government & NGO Collusion in Illegal Immigration

A congressional investigation must be launched into:

• Federal, state, and local officials facilitating illegal immigration.

• NGOs and foreign organizations funding and coordinating mass migration.

• Whether taxpayer money is being unlawfully used to fund illegal immigration programs.

4. Strict Ban on Unvetted Immigrants in Law Enforcement & Military Roles

No non-citizen or unvetted immigrant should be allowed in the military or law enforcement. A full audit of all foreign-born personnel in these roles must be conducted immediately.

5. Enforcement of State Sovereignty to Protect Borders

States must be empowered to protect their borders when the federal government fails to do so. Governors and state legislatures must have the legal authority to reject illegal federal immigration mandates.
