How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that statutes prohibiting inducement of aliens to enter United States illegally applied extraterritorially because, inter alia, they were \fundamentally international\ in \focus and effect\
• explaining that, even if prosecuting the appellants for their extraterritorial conduct would deprive them of due process, the argument had been waived through their unconditional guilty pleas
• noting that a statute criminalizing conspiracies to induce aliens to illegally enter the United States and attempts to bring illegal aliens into the United States, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a), “concerns much more than merely ‘domestic conditions’ ”
• reasoning that “[m]any incomplete attempts” to bring aliens to the United States “occur outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States” because the offender “will ordinarily also be outside the United States during the attempt”
• ”[T]he question of an indictment’s failure to state an offense is an issue that goes to the merits of a case....”
• “[T]his country’s border-control policies are of crucial importance to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.”
