Having never been a lawyer or even playing one on television may place me at a disadvantage.  But, I do read the English language quite well.  From everything I have seen in print, the American people have every right to take the entire United States Government into court.

According to legal definition, every elected federal government official is a “Fiduciary” of the American people.  The fiduciary is “someone who has undertaken to act for and on behalf of another in a particular matter of circumstances which give rise to a relationship of trust and confidence.”

Using this definition, the President of the United States, the Vice President and all members of Congress have a fiduciary duty to every citizen of the United States.  That duty demands the highest standard of care at either equity or law.  Protecting the United States borders against all illegal entry would fall well within that scope of responsibility.

It can be considered a breach of fiduciary responsibility when actions are not taken on behalf of those placed in positions of trust.  Since all elected federal officials have sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and it is a constitutional duty to defend the borders of the country. That defense of the border and the laws of immigration become a fiduciary responsibility of all elected federal officials.  The daily violations of those borders and the millions of illegal aliens now in the United States are clear proof that all of these officials have failed in that duty.

To bring suit against these government officials, citizens must understand that the federal government, like another entity that causes harm to innocent people can be charged with violations of law that damage citizens.  There may be a question as to the nature of such charges, be they criminal or civil. A case could be argued on behalf of either.

It could also be argued that failure to enforce secure borders leads to property damage, the killing of livestock, theft, and as we now see in Arizona, even murder.  That would mean those officials who through their inaction or inattention have brought about these violations of our borders have even participated or have been party to criminal acts.

If we were to look at the failure to secure our borders from a civil framework, all costs brought about by individual citizens seeking to protect themselves and their property, all property losses, all business losses, etc. could be claimed and sought as damages from those officials who failed in their fiduciary responsibility.

The federal government has, by its own politically motivated actions and inactions placed itself in opposition to the American people.  Maybe it is time that we all hold them accountable for their conduct and their failure to respond to the will of the people.  We should do that utilizing every tool at our disposal.
