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.

They all think it can’t happen to them, they all think the people it happens to are beneath them (in a category called “illegals”, which they aren’t in) therefore they’re immune from it. It’s never about principles, because those can be thrown away the second it involves someone you’ve decided you don’t have to care about.
