“There are 15 million illegal aliens,” Miller said adding that “if each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries”
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said in a video that went viral on Friday that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process protections when being removed from the United States, arguing that providing full legal proceedings would make deportations unworkable.
“There are 15 million illegal aliens,” Miller said. “If each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries. They had no due process entering the country, and they are not entitled to it when being removed.”
Supreme Court precedent has long held that constitutional protections apply to noncitizens within U.S. territory. In Wong Wing v. United States (1896), the Court ruled that the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause protects noncitizens from arbitrary detention or punishment.
Guy says illegals won’t be getting due process, reaction is that everyone won’t be getting due process, I say that’s not what he said and ask if that’s happening (no one getting due process)… everyone mad as fuck lol
The problem with denying due process to any group is that it can then be denied to anyone simply by claiming they’re a member of that group. The implications are horrifying; the government could deport anyone it wants even if they’re a citizen with ample proof that they are because the opportunity to show that proof is what the law means when it guarantees the right to due process.
People are frustrated because you don’t seem to acknowledge this problem.
