I might also add to this that non-Citizens don’t have a right to hold public office, even Citizens are generally required to live in the jurisdiction where they hold public office, and only a Natural-Born U.S. Citizen can be President of the U.S.

Which non-citizen is running for public office? (strawman?).

As for M…

Unseen,

I hate to point out something so obvious, but there is a basis for comparison. No due process. While some may actually be fugitives or prison escapees, in America, we don’t deport people based on looking Mexican, being Spanish speakers unable to speak English, having any kind of tattoos, wearing a baseball cap backward, anonymous a…

Fellow Unbelievers,

Something has been frosting me all day:

When I came into work earlier and rang up my first customer, after I finished, he jokingly said: “I don’t have to pay”, evidently a lame attempt to get a smile from me. The man next to him in line said: “Welp, if it’s Good Friday, it oughtta be free!”

Duh. Trump is deporting people without actual judicial rulings.

The Neisei put into detention camps by FDR were natural-born U.S. Citizens, not immigrants.

Reg,

If someone is here illegally or does something to break conditions of their visa, due process and rights clearly doesn’t mean a right to stay.

The key phrase in the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment is:

“…nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law…”

Notice it says “any person,” not “any citizen.” That choice of language was intentional, and the U.S. Supreme Court has consistently interpreted it to mean that non…[Read more]

Tesla sales have plummeted by over 70% in countries like Germany and Spain. Some Tesla owners have resorted to placing stickers on their vehicles to distance themselves from Musk’s politics, with messages like “I bought this before Elon went crazy.” ​ His alignment with right-wing politics, including his role in Donald Trump’s administration, h…[Read more]
