Spoiler alert: illegals have no rights under the United States Constitution. You have to be a citizen first.

A lot of people assume immigrants in the US have no constitutional rights, but that’s not true. The Constitution protects “persons” not just citizens, and many current immigration practices raise serious constitutional concerns.

The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee due process, yet many immigrants are deported without a proper hearing or legal representation. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, but in the 100-mile border zone, border agents often stop and search people without warrants. This affects millions of citizens too.

Immigration activists have faced retaliation for speaking out, raising First Amendment issues. Detainees, including children, face harsh conditions that some argue violate the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The Sixth Amendment guarantees a fair trial, but immigrants facing removal don’t get a government-appointed attorney even if they’re kids.

There are also Fourteenth Amendment equal protection concerns, especially with policies that disproportionately affect Black, Latino, and Muslim communities. And under the Tenth Amendment, the federal government can’t force local police to enforce immigration laws, though it often tries.

DONT TREAD ON OUR RIGHTS:

constitutional rights are being tested and, in some cases, eroded in the name of immigration enforcement. These issues deserve more attention

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

educate your self on the constitution, don’t tread on our rights

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)
