Supreme Court affirms law against encouraging illegal immigration.

The US Supreme Court has upheld a section of federal immigration law that punishes those who encourage illegal immigration, ruling against a California man who falsely claimed that adult adoptions would lead to US citizenship. The court rejected arguments that the law is too broad and violates the Constitution. The case involved a man who deceived hundreds of non-citizens into believing that he could guarantee them a path to citizenship through adult adoption. The court's decision was 7-2, with two liberal justices dissenting.
