Keep pushing it red, Texas
Thanks for your opinion.
Now let's go find the act itself, seeing how as it already has the procedures laid out for using this tool.
The Alien and Sedition Acts consist of the following acts:
-
An Act supplementary to and to amend the act, entitled, "An Act to establish an uniform rule of naturalization, and to repeal the act therefore passed on that subject" of June 18, 1798, "Naturalization Act of 1798"
-
An Act concerning aliens of June 25, 1798, "Alien Act"
-
An Act respecting alien enemies of July 6, 1798, "Alien Enemies Act"
-
An Act in addition to the act, entitled "An Act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States" of July 14 1798, "Sedition Act"
Each one of those approved by congress already with the procedural usage in place in each one of them.
There is nothing listed in them that requires a declaration of war to use them, and they are laws already.
DJT will adhere to the wording in theses acts, we can be sure of that, or he would not have spent the time to research them.
So red, white, and blue are now nazi colors?
AMEN!
An Act Concerning Aliens.
SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That it shall be lawful for the President of the United States at any time during the continuance of this act, to order all such aliens as he shall judge dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States, or shall have reasonable grounds to suspect are concerned in any treasonable or secret machinations against the government thereof, to depart out of the territory of the United States, within such time as shall be expressed in such order, which order shall be served on such alien by delivering him a copy thereof, or leaving the same at his usual abode, and returned to the office of the Secretary of State, by the marshal or other person to whom the same shall be directed. And in case any alien, so ordered to depart, shall be found at large within the United States after the time limited in such order for his departure, and not having obtained a license from the President to reside therein, or having obtained such license shall not have conformed thereto, every such alien shall, on conviction thereof, be imprisoned for a term not exceeding three years, and shall never after be admitted to become a citizen of the United States. Provided always, and be it further enacted, that if any alien so ordered to depart shall prove to the satisfaction of the President, by evidence to be taken before such person or persons as the President shall direct, who are for that purpose hereby authorized to administer oaths, that no injury or danger to the United States will arise from suffering such alien to reside therein, the President may grant a license to such alien to remain within the United States for such time as he shall judge proper, and at such place as he may designate. And the President may also require of such alien to enter into a bond to the United States, in such penal sum as he may direct, with one or more sufficient sureties to the satisfaction of the per- son authorized by the President to take the same, conditioned for the good behavior of such alien during his residence in the United States, and not violating his license, which license the President may revoke, whenever he shall think proper.
It is left to the president to authorize who is to do the job of rounding them up.
If you'll notice the District Marshall is generally a term used for military commander back in those days.
Let's not forget about state governors.
Like in Texas.
Gov. Abbott’s Invasion Clause Declaration
"The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now," reads the statement. "President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, § 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary."
DJT can have Abbott clean house.
Other states will fall into play as well.
No congress critter involvement needed.
PS: Go look at all 4 of the acts comprising this single one.
ALL of them are already approved for this action.
Shit, one of them even mentions about arresting congress critters.
After going back to PB and continuing onto here, I've noticed the use, or misuse of the word 'enemy'.
Referring to the 'migrants', those coming across the border 'illegally', you are using the word 'enemy' instead of 'criminals'.
There is the difference.
Crossing the border illegally makes you a criminal, not an enemy.
Even the The Alien and Sedition Acts does not refer to 'enemy'.
So there is no actual enemy, and congress will not need to approve anything.
An Act respecting alien enemies of July 6, 1798, "Alien Enemies Act"
The main Act is Alien and Sedition Acts (1798)

So according to this, he would have to declare war on the entire world?
An Act Respecting Alien Enemies
SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That whenever there shall be a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government,orany invasion or predatory incursion shall be perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States, by any foreign nation or government, and the President of the United States shall make public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government, being males of the age of fourteen years and upwards, who shall be within the United States, and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured and removed, as alien enemies. And the President of the United States shall be, and he is hereby authorized, in any event, as aforesaid, by his proclamation thereof, or other public act, to direct the conduct to be observed, on the part of the United States, towards the aliens who shall become liable, as aforesaid; the manner and degree of the restraint to which they shall be subject, and in what cases, and upon what security their residence shall be permitted, and to provide for the removal of those, who, not being permitted to reside within the United States, shall refuse or neglect to depart therefrom; and to establish any other regulations which shall be found necessary in the premises and for the public safety: Provided, that aliens resident within the United States, who shall become liable as enemies, in the manner aforesaid, and who shall not be chargeable with actual hostility, or other crime against the public safety, shall be allowed, for the recovery, disposal, and removal of their goods and effects, and for their departure, the full time which is, or shall be stipulated by any treaty, where any shall have been between the United States, and the hostile nation or government, of which they shall be natives, citizens, denizens or subjects: and where no such treaty shall have existed, the President of the United States may ascertain and declare such reasonable time as may be consistent with the public safety, and according to the dictates of humanity and national hospitality.
Looks pretty specific, 'a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government' or 'any invasion or predatory incursion shall be perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States, by any foreign nation or government
