Annie got a gun but not a brain. Without the right to due process for EVERYONE, the state can just snatch anyone they want off the street and claim the person they snatched is a member of a group that isn't entitled to due process. The person, even if they are a citizen, will have no hearing or trial, no right to contact anyone, and be whisked away to a secret prison labor camp or even a death camp. Hey Annie, I'm from the government and I've decided you look like a foreigner. No phone calls, no judge, no jury, straight to the camp with you. #Fascism #PoliceState #MagaIdiot

That about sums it up. They don't believe the outgroup deserves rights. But if the outgroup doesn't have rights nobody does, they're just privileges that can be taken away at any time

And, it should be noted, the purpose of due process includes to check if these people are breaking any rules and if they're supposed to be here as well as if they're citizens.

When your knowledge of the constitution is based on vibes.

Without due process, we have no way to know for sure if they are 'illegal aliens' or just citizens with the wrong [fill in the blank].

I think I just caught a glimpse of the suffering of Americans who use, well, American social media. Y'all have it rough.

non-american here, what is an "alien" in this context? i imagine it doesn't mean "extraterrestrial"

edit: actually nvm, i just searched it up. why are people being called aliens? does this word even fit that role?

Rhetorical, just FYI. I’m an American in Germany and I’ve literally never met a native German speaker who wasn’t a linguistics professor who didn’t say “rethoric” though, so it’s not a big mistake at all. I do wonder if there was a misprint in a popular textbook or something though, because it’s weirdly consistent, even more so than I would expect from a word with a silent (in German) h somewhere.

I get their thought process. To them, the constitution applies only to US citizens. They are stupid fucks for sure, but I get it.

I mean the us has never followed due process in the way advocates frame it. As well as this originalists like Thomas and Scalia have always opposed it. Look at dred scott for a history of this. Even in theory due process is not the greatest. This person is wrong and almost certainly extremely bigoted but not as " out there" as some of these comments think.

She only cares about the 2nd amendment.

All she cares about it herself

Judging by the user name, they only care about the 2nd amendment.

This is why US concentration camps are in Guntanamo Bay and El Salvador
