What charge can be placed against a driver who knowingly transports illegal aliens?

8 USC 1324 Alien Smuggling
INA 274 Impersonation
Immigration Violation, I-847
Civil Penalty, G-263

The correct answer is: 8 USC 1324 Alien Smuggling

The correct choice pertains to the specific legal framework that defines the offense of knowingly transporting illegal aliens. Under 8 USC 1324, laws regarding alien smuggling present clear guidelines about criminal activities associated with human smuggling. This law makes it unlawful for any person to transport an undocumented alien within the United States when they have knowledge that the individual is unlawfully present. The scope of this statute encompasses various actions, including hiring someone to transport illegal aliens, making it a serious criminal offense with potential penalties that reflect the severity of the violation. The focus on knowingly transporting illegal aliens highlights the intention behind the action, creating a rationale for legal prosecution under this specific statute. Other options, such as impersonation under the Immigration and Nationality Act or civil penalties, do not directly address the act of transporting illegal aliens with knowledge of their status. Therefore, only the first choice accurately captures the legal basis for the charge against a driver engaged in this illicit activity, marking it as the appropriate response in this scenario.
