No person shall . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.
-5th Amendment
It doesn’t say no citizen. It says no person. So, if Due Process doesn’t apply to them, are they no longer people? Isn’t this basically one of the steps that led into the holocaust? They stripped the Jews of their citizenship, deprived them of personhood, then exterminated them.
If due process rights don’t exist for immigrants, then they don’t exist for anyone. How can you show you’re not an immigrant without due process?
That’s the neat part! It’s the feature of just removing people you don’t like from the country. Oh you and your family have lived here for generations? Well you didn’t vote for me, so enjoy Nigeria.
How can you show you’re not an immigrant without due process?
These shitbags need to be impeached and removed.
A little deportation without due process might be in order as well.
Deport their head from their shoulders
I initially read that as “decapitation”… and I might have liked it better that way.
Deported straight to the wood chipper.
They need to be hanged, drawn, and quartered as an example to future shitbags should they get any funny ideas.
Rounded up, denied due process and shipped to Sudan would be more appropriate
Really just shows what George Carlin said for a long time, there’s no such thing as “rights”. They’re temporary privileges that can be revoked whenever convenient.
That’s a dumb take. Rights are intrinsic to all people, they can’t be taken away, even if they are violated. Everybody experiences various levels of human rights violations, but nobody has fewer rights because of the crimes commited against them.
And then they came for the…which line is second to last again?
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
