But even arrest and deportation have attatched rights.


Like I said, I am just curious about which specific rights he is on about people claiming.

As you mention Ireland, we had this thing about Illegal immigrants which built into a big popular issue, instead of just enforcing the law as it stood the government went through all the trouble of amending the Constitution to "solve" the problem and making a few new laws.....but they still don't bother enforcing the law and the silly amendment actually gives grief to citizens and legal residents exercising their rights.

Yes, that was the point i was trying to make

As far as them claiming their rights, many have argued that they have the right not only to be here illegally, but that they deserve the full rights and benefits of a citizen. Rights that they arent entitled to because they are not citizens and therefore arent protected under the constitution. Rights such as their right to health care, enrollment, work, property. The works.


The courts, however, seem to disagree. It infuriated me when i was shown what they had passed. Essentially they have made it so that almost every SINGLE right granted to citizens can be applied to illegals because theyve played the wording the Constitution to the point where as long as the state has juridiction over the person, they are granted most all rights as would be granted to a citizen.

They need to seriously amend the 14th amendment. It blows my mind that people can circumvent the amendment so incredibly easily. The amendment was put there to protect blacks from having their citizenship questioned, not to allow these illegal immigrants free citizenshinship because they hop the border and maybe drop an anchor baby.
