Subject: Re: been warning about this for a while
What I think is happening is that lots of people are appalled that the federal statutes and Constitution don't afford the same rights to immigrants, and especially not to immigrants who are here unlawfully, as they do to citizens.

As I recall, when you were giving Dope yet another lesson in Constitutional Law, you indicated that the Constitution applies to the government everywhere. So they can't do certain things (or must respect certain things) no matter where in the world a person is. So they couldn't order a hit on me just because I am out of the country, for example. They are constrained no matter where I am. And, with those in this country, they are similarly constrained. I don't believe the 5th or 14th carve out exceptions for non-citizens (except in time of war, where people are deprived of their lives routinely).
