The Constitution states in Article I Section 1 the following:
"All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives"
I'm surprised you didn't make it that far. You must be illiterate...
It's crazy how little you know about the law and how loud you are about your ignorance...
IIRIRA doesn't take away basic rights. The quote you referenced applies mainly to immigrants that are caught at the border. It was created to address issues related to border security and enforcement. Stop spreading misinformation.
@Mel111 I don't know why you make new account to express your retardedness, but that's all you are showing is that you are retarded. Being detained and deported as an illegal alien in accordance with the law is not a violation of basic rights. You make women look stupid.
It should be really simple for you retards to understand this.
The Constitution states in Article I Section 1 the following:
"All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives"
Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 it speaks specifically to Congresses foregoing Powers authority.
"[The Congress shall have Power. . . ] To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."
As a result Congress has made such laws concerning foreign powers that I have clearly pointed out in Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 which I linked you to and specifically highlighted the areas of interest that allows officers to remove aliens from the United States without further hearing or review if they don't present a credible fear of persecution.
Which the Supreme Court has clearly confirmed in case law when the Congress has been challenged in law suits previously. The complete and total authority over law making concerning foreign powers, as immigration laws is in the hands of Congress. No other branch of government has any say on that... "Congress may make rules as to aliens that would be unacceptable if applied to citizens" and there is a "longstanding view that the Government may constitutionally detain deportable aliens during the limited period necessary for their removal proceedings" which is confirmed by Demore v. Kim, 538 U. S. 510 (2003).
Your activist judges planted by the treasonous Obama/Biden administration don't have Constitutional authority to tell the Congress they can or can't make such laws. We have separation of powers for a reason. Your activist judges are pretending to have power which they do not possess. They think they are kings; they are not. If they break immigration laws those judges will be arrested and face trial.
@contentious Lemme just... "What’s the Constitution say about citizens and the Fifth Amendment?"... ignorance is definitely in the room, but it's not coming from me.
If Trump died tomorrow... what would your fixation be on after that? Have you thought about doing drugs? Shit... I might.
I think you should grasp the idea that your side shifted a whole bunch of votes... and you know how. And now a majority % just don't agree with putting all our energy into social issues and they sure don't give a fuck about beating the dead horse that Trump looks weird.
I'm just saying, bro, like for reals... the same names are going to come through here and I know them by name, and they will pat you on the back for this.
I consider myself a friend because I remember when we agreed on a lot of shit and did battle against others together... we just went in other directions at some point. Now you're just "Orange man bad" and cry about it all the time. Does he live in your head or is it like a scheme you got going on? You just fucking with the crazies or you're actually crazy now?
Illegal aliens are NOT citizens. They shall not have the same constitutional protections as American citizens. They shall not be able to take advantage of our welfare benefits, nor should they be allowed to sue American citizens in our own courts of law. Americam citizens should ALWAYS have topmost priority while waiting to see a doctor all the way down to waiting in line at a convenience store.
Anyone can confirm that "Congress may make rules as to aliens that would be unacceptable if applied to citizens" and that there is a "longstanding view that the Government may constitutionally detain deportable aliens during the limited period necessary for their removal proceedings" in Demore v. Kim, 538 U. S. 510 (2003). This case law specifically makes a distinction between a Person that has illegally enter the United States and a Citizen and confirms that illegal aliens can be detained without a need to criminally charge and process them. They do not have the same rights as Citizens. Nothing could be more clear.
"Due process is a fundamental principle of fairness in legal matters, ensuring that all legal procedures are followed to protect an individual's rights and prevent arbitrary government action. It guarantees that individuals are treated fairly and given a chance to defend their rights in legal proceedings." Those proceedings they are talking about is due process. They would go before a judge to see whether or not they should remain or be deported.
@contentious The article you have given even states they have a removal hearing which is due process. What do you not understand? Even after being convicted of felony crimes the Supreme Court says they must go through a removal hearing which determines whether they stay or go. So yes, they have the same right to due process as everyone else does. Our founding fathers believed everyone, citizen or not had a right to due process and they do.
@contentious They have the right to present their case to not be deported. They can appeal a judges decision. So yes, it can be considered a trial because a judge makes a decision on whether to or not to deport the person dumbass. It literally fits the criteria I have given for due process. Even the link you have provided proves me right moron.
One of the principles the U. S. was founded upon was due process. We gave due process to our enemies and those who were not considered our citizens when we became a country. So, yes it is people. Anyone no matter their creed nor relation has the right to due process. It even states it in the fifth ammendment.
Anyone has a right to due process if the government is going to sentence them to death (take their life), imprison them in an American jail (take their liberty), or legally seize their property (take their property). Illegals don't have a right to due process if they are just being deported.
Trump’s comment isn’t dictatorial—it’s a recognition of logistical reality. The Supreme Court already ruled in DHS v. Thuraissigiam (2020) that illegal immigrants don’t have unlimited due process rights, especially regarding expedited removal. Holding five million trials isn’t practical, nor is it required. Enforcing immigration law efficiently doesn’t violate the Constitution—it upholds national sovereignty.”
Persons within the reach and under the authority of the Constitution. I can tell that you want to weasel in "rights" for non citizens. In the Founders language, The People and Citizens are the same. The founders did not envision a flood of illegal aliens as The People. They did not to give away our blessing to strangers.
It means that immigration has always been a part of human history and society, even before the Constitution was created. They knew about the concept of immigration yet made it to not exclude anyone, hence 'We the People of the United States,' which is intended to represent and protect the rights of all individuals within its jurisdiction.

I wonder why it is that people on the right simply cannot or will not understand the concept of due process and keep misrepresenting it as "only for citizens" as if that is what the Constitution actually said. It does not, and no amount of restatement and rephrasing changes that.
You people can repeat your denials until you're blue in the face, and our Constitution will still say what it says, idiots.
Whare in the Constitution ows it say thay anybody who sets foot in Ameri a is granted Constituitioal rights? Do yeou realize how ridiculous that sounds?
But upholding natural rights is so inconvenient and expensive! Says the autocratic manchild who blows millions of dollars on his masturbatory golf trips.
Also says the manchild who wants due process for himself. Dudes spent countless days in court through his lifetime. Perhaps we should let him get a taste of what it's like to not be allowed due process. Just lock him up and go meh, you'll be released when we feel like it.
"No State shall... deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Apart from anything else, how do you know someone isn't a legal resident without giving them a chance to prove it? If someone grabbed you off the street and took you to an El Salvador prison, what could you do about it?
I have said over and over again how this works. Let me try another approach.
If you walk into a building, like a store or office, and they tell you to leave, you must leave. Otherwise you are trespassing. If they call the police, the police will also tell you to leave. You do not get a trial, you must leave.
If you don't leave after they tell you, it is trespassing. The business CAN file trespassing charges against you. **IF** they do, THEN you might have the right to a trial. But if they don't file charges, you still have to leave, and you don't have a right to a trial.
The fifth amendment is protection against self incrimination, the requirement for a grand jury in capital offenses, being justly compensated for ceasure of property for public use, and a restristriction on double jeopardy.
Did you bother reading the founding documents? Nothing about citizens
"Fifth Amendment No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
@OddBeMe no reason they can't get their due process at a port of athority to petition coming back in after they have been deported if they believe they deserve to stay.
I don't hate the constitution. But kicking them out and having them attempt to come back in for their due process is no different then a guy who robs a bank, gets arrested and sits in jail waiting for his "due process" trial.
If you are suspected of committing a crime you get arrested and thrown in jail and wait for your due process. That happens millions of times every year in this country and is perfectly legal and constitutional.
If someone is suspected of being in this country illegally then the same process can happen, go to jail and wait for your due process, or the more humain thing is deportation vs jail.
The due process is the same as you would get if you are arrested for robbing a bank.. it comes after your arrest and being thrown in jail to wait for your trial.
All illegals that are arrested should be thrown in jail and they can wait for their trial in jail, or they are free to leave the country.
They weren't free to leave the country. They were forced into an el Salvadorian prison camp. 70% of people have no connection to gang activity which woulda come out in court. Geee... see a pattern
How exactly do you come in legally and apply for visa for poor starving Mexicans? We used to channel people through Ellis Island with no care in the world. Now it takes years.
@OddBeMe if you have a problem with how long legal immigration takes then Biden could of changed that but he didn't.
And no I dont have empathy for someone deciding to rob a bank instead of working because working could take years. Follow the laws, its not complicated
@OddBeMe what do you mean tried? The KKK was a Democrat organization.
Also are you attempting to make the claim that the Constitution is for every human and not just American Citizens? So any person can vote, or come into the country and buy guns? Is that the stance you are taking?
