Immigrant-rights groups released a new video Monday coaching illegal immigrants on their constitutional rights and how to avoid run-ins with federal deportation agents, as advocates gear up to try to thwart as many deportations as possible.

The video is part of a growing infrastructure designed to protect illegal immigrants from legal consequences under President Trump, and gives instructions on handling everything from encounters on the streets to when agents show up at a home with a deportation warrant.

If they come here, to the house, dont open the doors. No abran las puertas, the advocates say in a 7-minute training video, released by a coalition thats dubbed itself Informed Immigrant.

The video is aimed at children, who are encouraged to get their families to plan for potential encounters with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and agents.

Already, officers say theyre seeing far fewer people willing to open doors to them in recent months as warnings take hold.

The new video does warn illegal immigrants against driving if they dont have a license, urges them not to carry false papers and repeatedly cautions against attempting to flee authorities.

But it does offer strategies for encounters. If illegal immigrant parents have children that are U.S. citizens, they are encouraged to mention them in the hope that it would sway agents to leave the family alone.

If they have children that are in the country illegally, they are advised not to mention them. Otherwise, the video says, the children could become targets for deportation themselves.

Dont carry papers from another country with you, such as a foreign passport. Such papers could be used against you in the deportation process, the video says.

ICE officers usually carry administrative warrants authorizing arrest for deportation purposes, but they are not criminal warrants signed by a judge, and the video says they do not carry the same force of law so illegal immigrants do not have to let officers in, or even open the door for them.

Some immigrant-rights advocates are going even further to try to protect illegal immigrants.

Colleges are encouraging illegal immigrant students who have taken advantage of President Obamas 2012 deportation amnesty for Dreamers, known as the DACA program, to take school-sponsored trips outside the U.S. Because of the way the law works, that gives the DACA recipients a chance to apply for advance parole, a program that can put them on a pathway to citizenship.

And defense lawyers have distributed a document coaching other lawyers on charges they should try to plead down in order to avoid running afoul of Obama administration deportation priorities.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said last week that a California prosecutor even lowered the charges against someone a repeat offender accused of domestic violence so that the abuser wouldnt be deported.

Think about the message that sends: If you are an alien and you commit domestic violence, prosecutors will charge you with a lesser crime so you can stay in the country, Mr. Sessions said, calling for an end to the practice. Enough is enough.

Ramiro Ramirez, a 44-year-old illegal immigrant, hit Lorine Jones and her husband George Milton Jones while driving past a red light at an exit ramp, according to the News Observer. Initially, Ramirez was charged with a traffic violation and driving without a license.

Both Lorine Jones and her husband George were taken to the hospital immediately following the accident, where Jones later died due to his injuries. Jones was 88-years-old. Lorine Jones is still recovering from the accident.

Ramirez turned himself into Wake County officials and is now being held at the local lockup. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has placed a detainer on the illegal immigrant, requesting that he be handed over to federal officials should he be released.

Genaro Muniz-Padilla, an 18-year-old illegal immigrant, allegedly struck 42-year-old Jamica Williams with his vehicle after the two were involved in a previous altercation, according to the Johnston County Report.

According to eyewitness reports, Muniz-Padilla was upset with Williams after he allegedly made a comment to a woman living nearby. Williams took off on his bike shortly thereafter.

Muniz-Padilla was allegedly angered by the comment and followed Williams and confronted him. Eventually, police say, Muniz-Padilla got into his car and intentionally struck Williams.

First responders came to the scene and took Williams to a nearby hospital where he later died of his injuries.

Williams had just recently moved back to the small town of Kenly to be closer with his family and was recently hired for a new job.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed to Breitbart Texas that Muniz-Padilla was in the U.S. illegally and the agency currently has a detainer on him, where he may be deported if released from prison for any reason.

Muniz-Padilla is being charged with second-degree murder.

Illegal Immigrant Driver Intentionally Killed Bicyclist, Police Say - Breitbart News

CHICAGO -- The reason immigrant appreciation efforts, like the "Day Without Immigrants" events this past February, fall flat is because few people really feel any pain.

Sure, some may have faced the minor inconvenience of not eating at their favorite restaurant, but it barely made a ripple on most non-immigrants' day-to-day lives.

Even worse: Some immigrants were fired from their jobs for failing to show up for work. And, in some places, the protest-related school absences were considered a positive -- such as at one school in Riverside County, California, where the teachers took to Facebook to crow about how awesome it was to have the Hispanic students absent that day.

Alas, the real economic impact of immigrants largely goes unnoticed when it matters most -- at tax time.

If the immigration hard-liners magically got their way and the nation's illegal immigrants suddenly disappeared, the United States would lose out on an estimated $11.74 billion in annual state and local tax revenue from a combination of sales, excise, personal income and property taxes, according to a tally by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

Even in Montana, a state with only about 1,000 undocumented people, their tax contributions are just over $550,000. In California, home to more than 3 million unlawfully present immigrants, contributions total more than $3.1 billion.

According to the institute's most recent data, "the nation's estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants pay 8 percent of their incomes in state and local taxes every year. While it is unlikely to happen in the current political environment, undocumented immigrants' state and local tax contributions could increase by up to $2.1 billion under comprehensive immigration reform."

Still unmoved? Well, let's look at the "Effects of Unauthorized Immigration on the Actuarial Status of the Social Security Trust Funds," a report published by the Social Security Administration in 2013, which said:

"We estimate that earnings by unauthorized immigrants result in a net positive effect on Social Security financial status generally, and that this effect contributed roughly $12 billion to the cash flow of the program for 2010. We estimate that future years will experience a continuation of this positive impact on the trust funds."

Most people don't know this: Though there is no "line" for immigrants to get in for the purposes of entering the U.S. legally, there is a mechanism for paying taxes whether they're here with valid papers or not.

This mechanism is called an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or ITIN, and many illegal immigrants use this method to comply with tax law on the off chance that they may someday get the opportunity to prove to an immigration judge that they have "good moral character" and deserve a shot at legal permanent residence.

In 2010, according to the National Immigration Law Center, over 3 million federal tax returns were filed with ITINs -- all of this with no expectation of ever being able to draw funds from Social Security.

Some people don't want to hear this, though.

In the weeks leading up to protests demanding that President Trump release his tax returns, Belen Sisa, who is covered by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), posted a photo of her fourth annual tax form and the message, "MYTH BUSTER: I, an undocumented immigrant, just filed my taxes and PAID $300 to the state of Arizona. I cannot receive financial aid from the state or federal government for school, I cannot benefit from unemployment, a reduced health care plan, or a retirement fund."

The post went viral and, predictably, Sisa was deluged with hate messages on social media, allusions to having reported her to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and death threats.

In response, she told NBC Latino that unlawfully present immigrants should "take a picture of your taxes and make a post. Let them know that you pay taxes, too, because people don't know."

Advocacy stunts, white papers and well-sourced reports are fine, if low-key, methods of showing the value illegal immigrants bring to this country. Perhaps a countdown clock of how quickly the Social Security trust fund will run out of cash without them would be more effective.

ESTHER CEPEDA: Illegal immigrants pay taxes, too | Columnists ... - Sioux City Journal

Julissa Arce, a former vice president at Goldman Sachs, joined Tucker Carlson on the Fox News Channel to discuss a popular opinion article she wrote for CNBC on Wednesday about President Donald Trumps immigration policies. Arce came to the United States illegally as a child, but she managed to work her way up to top positions on Wall Street.

Discussing Arces article, Carlson said during his show on Thursday, I also found your characterization, frankly, of the presidents proposed border wall as a symbol of hate as not an indication of gratitude . It suggests that you dont think America has a right to protect its borders. And that seems a very odd attitude for someone who has benefited so much from your adopted country.

No, not at all, Arce responded. I dont think that makes me ungrateful. I think that makes me a citizen of the country who also gets to have a voice. And my voice might be different than your voice, but we both get to voice our opinions.

Carlson then explained that he supports Arces free-speech rights, but he doesnt understand why a border wall is a symbol of hate.

The point that Im trying to make is that the wall is not the best way to protect our borders, said Arce, who also admitted during theinterview she workedusing a fakeSocial Security number.Listen, I live here. I want this country to be safe. My children are going to grow up in America as American citizens born here. But building a wall that is going to cost, by the way, billions of dollars of American taxpayers, my tax dollars are going to go to build a wall that, at the end of the day, isnt going to protect us

Carlson then interjected, saying he doesnt buy that argument and that Arce isnt answering his question about the wall supposedly being a symbol of hate.

Youre saying the wall is too expensive, but you know thats not actually what you said, Carlson shot back. You said its an expression of hate, and I just want to get to the bottom of that. Why is it hateful to want to build a wall? A lot of Americans do. The majority, in some surveys. Why is that related to hate?

It is a hateful symbol, Arce said. It is a symbol of hate against immigrants. It is a symbol of hate against Mexican immigrants, which, you know, the president, Mr. Trump, ran his campaign on. So, I do still view the wall as a symbol of hate.

I just want to get the bottom of this, because youre throwing around language that has an effect on peoples attitudes, and its pretty heavy duty, because it presumes motives that you cant know, Carlson said. You dont know that the people who support the wall hate Mexican immigrants. A lot of people who come across that border are not from Mexico, as you know, they are Central Americans. Is it legitimate, is it morally legitimate for an American to say I want control of who comes into my country, and we dont have that, and so a wall would reestablish that control. To denounce that as hate seems a little much.

And I would absolutely welcome the conversation about how do we create a system by which people can come here legally, that will benefit Americans, that will increase tax revenue, that will increase economic activity, Arce said. So, we should have that conversation.

Were having that conversation now, Carlson said. Youre not answering my question.

Carlson then asked Arce again to explain why the wall is a symbol of hate, to which she responded, As a Mexican immigrant, I can have an opinion that that wall, to me, symbolizes a symbol of hate, Arce said.
