“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.
Who checks?
Who makes sure the person checking doesn’t have a reason to lie about the person’s legal status?
How many people are checking?
What steps should be given if someone isn’t able to provide paper work within 2 micro seconds of an ice agent looking at you?
What about the overwhelming majority of people that took legal steps to move to the US (as in actually following due process unlike the made up lies would indicate) but something out of their control happens like Trump decides he doesn’t like the country they came from
Or they are actively on their way to getting full citizenship but ice abducts them anyway?
