What should you do if the driver states that he knew the aliens were illegally in the U.S.?

  1. Seize the vehicle immediately

  2. Charge the driver under 8 USC 1324

  3. Let the driver go without action

  4. File a report for further investigation

The correct answer is: Charge the driver under 8 USC 1324

Charging the driver under 8 USC 1324 is the appropriate action in this scenario. This statute deals with the transportation of undocumented individuals and the penalties associated with knowingly aiding or assisting illegal immigration into the United States. If the driver admits to being aware that the individuals in the vehicle are in the country illegally, this constitutes knowledge and complicity, which are critical factors in applying this law. By taking this step, law enforcement underscores the seriousness of the offense and holds the driver accountable for their actions in relation to illegal immigration. Seizing the vehicle or allowing the driver to go without action would not address the legal implications of knowingly transporting illegal aliens. Filing a report for further investigation might be relevant in some circumstances, but it does not directly address the driver's admission of guilt. The law mandates that actions be taken against individuals who knowingly violate these immigration laws, thus enforcing accountability and deterring future offenses.
