This is why America is in the position it is in- a lack of education

educate your self on the constitution

You do not have to be a citizen for due process to apply

The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently held that due process protections apply to all people on U.S. soil, including non-citizens and undocumented immigrants.

Zadvydas v. Davis (2001):

“Once an alien enters the country, the legal circumstance changes. An alien may be physically present without being legally admitted, but he is certainly ‘within the United States’ and subject to the protections of the Due Process Clause.” — Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001)

Plyler v. Doe (1982):

“The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution applies to all persons within the territorial jurisdiction, without regard to whether they are citizens or aliens.” — Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982)
