QUICK SHEET · CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERATED REPUBLIC
Immigration & Asylum
Two gates to residency, and a separate track for protection that opens the moment a claim is filed. The executive issues credentials but cannot withhold them; the courts stay in every loop; and some doors are nailed shut — no ideological screening, no nationality quotas, no indefinite stateless detention.
Article VI · §6.1–§6.2,
§6.3, §6.3.a
§6.3, §6.3.a
The Two-Stage Residency System — §6.1, §6.2
STAGE 1
State Sponsorship
A State sponsors. It keeps discretion over whom — but sponsorship criteria may not violate §1.6 equality. Denials on discriminatory grounds are challengeable.
→
STAGE 2
Federal Certification
Federal categories set by statute. Denials must state the exact ground in writing and are judicially reviewable — including in-camera review of any national-security assessment.
→
ISSUANCE
Ministerial Credential
Clear both stages and the Legat Consul must issue credentials. Interference is constitutionally prohibited — no executive discretion at the finish line.
→
REMOVAL
Federal, Law-Based Only
Only the federal government removes, only for statutory violations. Detention without statutory basis is unlawful — habeas applies. Counsel appointed if unaffordable.
The Separate Asylum Track — §6.3
Inhabitant from the date of filing§1.21 · Own Constitutional Track
Asylum bypasses the dual gate entirely — no State can extinguish a claim by refusing to sponsor. From filing, the claimant holds full Article I protection and social-state access; claims are decided before any removal. Manner of entry is irrelevant, and no penalty may attach to irregular entry while a claim is pending or granted. The Asylum Court is independent of both executives — the Legislature may not make it a subdivision of either. Unaccompanied minors are Inhabitants from first contact, get a federal guardian within 72 hours, and may never be held in a facility not built for children.
Doors Nailed Shut — §6.1, §6.3, §6.3.a
No Ideological Screening
At no stage, ever.
No Nationality Quotas
Prohibited at every stage.
No Indefinite Stateless Detention
Constitutionally barred, always.
No §1.6 Discrimination in Tax or Sponsorship
Equality reaches into both.
