What's most disturbing isn't the fact that you're wrong. It's the fact that if you were right, any citizen or noncitizen could be "mistakenly" sent to a foreign prison camp without a hearing and you'd be just fine with it.
Sam,
First, I do not blur the lines between a U.S. citizen and non-citizen. A U.S. citizen has Constitutional rights by way of that citizenship. Do you think an illegal alien, unvetted, who broke into the U.S. and is a gang member or criminal, has the same Constitutional rights as that U.S. citizen? How about the millions who paid the cartels to get them through the Darian Gap and through Mexico to the U.S.? Most claim asylum. How do we know if they were coached on what to tell our authorities maybe falsely? You see Sam, the problem is millions were just allowed in by the Biden Administration from all over the world without an idea of how to deal with all of them.
There was no system in place to deal with these millions and all of our government subsistence programs meant for our low income American citizens were overwhelmed. You well know hotels were turned into apartments, many small community hospitals especially close to the border were treating illegals and our citizens were left in the back of the line. And Biden did nothing to remedy the problem he created.
You continue to say hearings this and hearings for that. Be specific. What type of hearings for all of these illegals who claimed asylum if you won't allow us to deport them under certain laws and situations claimed by the President and Executive Branch? What courts? How many judges? Who pays for the investigations for these millions or determines if they qualify for asylum? You see it is easy to sit and demand due process, but with these numbers it is not such an easy problem to deal with. How many tens or hundreds of billions are you willing to appropriate from taxpayer money for due process to many lawbreakers?
Surely you know how difficult it is to get a large group to reach some consensus on an issue. And that is why our Founding Fathers gave certain powers to each of the three Branches of Government. And the President, being the only official elected by all of the people was given certain powers as head of the Executive Branch which allowed the country to make fast moves under certain situations to protect the U.S. Thus President Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to declare an invasion so he could remove as many of the illegal gang members and criminals as quickly as possible from U.S. soil. I believe he had the right legally to make that decision notwithstanding what some of these radical district court judges and now the latest Supreme Court decision has decided.
So no Sam, I do not believe the rights are the same between American citizens and any of these millions who flooded into our country, nor should they be.
