      I’ll allow it as they are already shipping people out on military aircraft. Almost 100 to Guatamala already.

      It’s worth noting that these raids and arrests are warrantless which is in violation of the Constitution.

        As a complete foreigner may I ask a dumb question: are non-citizens protected by the constitution?

          Anytime the word “people” or “person” is used in the constitution, it refers to anyone physically in the country regardless of citizenship.

      I agree. Although this crackdown –for lack of a better term– is arguably setting a new precedent that may socially and politically (not morally) justify similar actions by other governments and also serve, to some extent, as a political, legal, operational and diplomatic blueprint, not every detail of it –however appalling– is news of worldwide relevance.

        They are arresting people. They need to investigate if those people are immigrant, then investigate if they are there under an irregular status, then they have to investigate in order to find out if any crime has been commited.

        People is not illegal. Those arrests/detentions seem to be the illegal part.
