U. S. Supreme Court Rules Filing "Fraudulent And Deceitful" Income Tax Returns Of More Than $10,000 Loss To Government Is A Deportable Offense.

Supreme Court clarifies 'aggravated felony' for immigrant removal purposes

The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Kawashima v. Holderthat, under the Immigration and Nationality Act [8 USC § 1101 et seq.], the making of false tax returns is a crime involving fraud or deceit, which can result in deportation, when the government suffers a loss of more than $10,000.

The case involves Petitioners Akio and Fusako Kawashima, natives and citizens of Japan, who were living in California as lawful permanent residents. They were charged with, and pleaded guilty to, filing, and aiding and abetting in filing, a false statement on a corporate tax return. An immigration judge ordered their deportation, after determining the convictions were "aggravated felonies" within the meaning of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed the decision, which was ultimately upheld by the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In an opinion authored by Justice Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court affirmed:

The language of the statute is clear. Anyone who is convicted of an offense that "involves fraud or deceit in which the loss to the victim or victims exceeds $10,000" has committed an aggravated felony and is subject to deportation pursuant to 8 USC § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii). The elements of willfully making and subscribing a false corporate tax return, in violation of 26 USC § 7206(1), and of aiding and assisting in the preparation of a false tax return, in violation of 26 USC § 7206(2), establish that those crimes are deportable offenses because they necessarily entail deceit.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg authored a dissenting opinion, in which she was joined by Justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan. The court's ruling resolved a split among the circuits regarding whether filing a false tax return was an aggravated felony under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

I Join Rand Paul In Asking For Hearings On How Waad Ramadan Alwan And Mohanad Shareef Hammadi Came To Bowling Green, Kentucky, As Refugees.

Paul calls for hearings on Iraqi immigration

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Rand Paul is calling for Senate hearings to get answers on how two Iraqi refugees were granted asylum to live in the United States.

Paul made the call for hearings Friday during a press conference in Bowling Green, where the two were arrested last week after an FBI investigation.

Thirty-year-old Waad Ramadan Alwan and 23-year-old Mohanad Shareef Hammadi are facing charges of plotting to send explosives, guns and missiles to Iraqi insurgents. Neither is charged with plotting to launch attacks inside the United States, and authorities said their weapons and money didn't make it to Iraq.
