Something a lot of people don't seem to realize...

"If one group doesn't get due process, nobody does" is not just a slogan, it's a simple fact.

If illegal immigrants don't get a chance to at least argue they are in fact allowed to be in the country before getting deported, then neither do you if a cop calls you one because he doesn't like your face.

There's a good reason the constitution explicitly grants due process to persons and not just citizens. This is that reason.

It's what is called willful ignorance. They want to be ignorant of the truth and feel that it's safe for them because they think the loss of due process will never apply to them and people like them due to being in an unofficial exempt category. There is no amendment to the constitution that would protect citizens if people lose this right, yet they risk it all to soothe their xenophobia.
@faery it's a typical case of Main Character Syndrome.
