In Part One of a series of news columns detailing options to update policies regarding immigration into the United States Of America, Peirspictiochtai Ar An Saol noted that land within the United States of America could potentially be leased permanently to another independent nation.

This edition of Peirspictiochtai Ar An Saol details how certain people are able to be transported in vehicles to, from, and within the United States of America and yet not be subject to American laws.

According to "Diplomatic and Consular Immunity – Guidance for Law Enforcement and Judicial Authorities" issued by the United States Department of State, "Diplomatic agents enjoy the highest degree of privileges and immunities. They enjoy complete personal inviolability, which means that they may not be handcuffed (except in extraordinary circumstances), arrested, or detained; and neither their property (including vehicles) nor residences may be entered or searched."

This booklet details that "The U S Department of State, through its Office of Foreign Missions' Diplomatic Motor Vehicle Office, has jurisdiction over the registration of vehicles, the issuance of distinctive license plates for those vehicles, and the issuance of operator permits for individuals who enjoy privileges and immunities in the United States."

While not every vehicle registered by a foreign nation with the U S Department of State is accorded full diplomatic protections, the booklet indicated that for those that have that status, their property, "…including his or her vehicle, may not be searched or seized."

The fact that the United States of America may explicitly determine that certain motor vehicles are, in essence, not under its jurisdiction is important in highlighting that motor vehicles entering, leaving, or traveling within the United States of America could be placed under the jurisdiction of other nations.

The next edition of Peirspictiochtai Ar An Saol will focus on the specific requirements outlined in the U S Constitution for citizenship to be accorded at birth to all those born in the United States of America.

Peirspictiochtai Ar An Saol – Gaelic – Irish – for "Perspectives On Life" is a column focused on aspects of accountability and responsibility as well as ways people look at life.
