Illegal Immigrants" Constitutional Rights Violated?

the government. That means the government can't violate peoples' rights, whether within our borders or without, citizen or not unless it has been given that authority. If you view Consitutional rights more as what the government can't do rather than how they would go about doing it, it makes more sense - in an ideal world, anyway.

For the language of "all men having unalienable rights granted by their Creator".

Is an illegal alien a person with a Creator? Then they are constitutionally protected.

Hmmm... I wonder if this means as an athiest, I don't have any rights? Don't let that little loophole slip out or I'll end up in jail.

"The history of liberty has largely been the history of the observance of procedural safeguards."

How To Relax Procedural Safeguards:

# 1 Go to the frontline

# 2 Find a disenfranchised, unsympathetic individual or group to target

# 3 Have your way with them

# 4 Foment the divide

# 5 Gas up the steamroller

# 6 Celebrate the conquest

#7 Trammel at will....

“A Man for All Seasons” is play about Sir Thomas Moore, a devout Catholic at a time when it was not very good for people to be devout Catholics, because the sovereign, the King of England, Henry VIII, was having his problems with the Catholic church.

Henry VIII was a monarch who made the law and enforced the law. Sir Thomas Moore was also the Lord Chancellor of England, the King’s minister, and a lawyer.

Here’s the scene: Sir Thomas Moore is being urged by his son-in-law, Roper and by his wife and daughter to arrest a man, a scoundrel, really, named Richard Rich. And Moore responds, as follows, referring to Rich:

“And go he should if he were the devil himself until he broke the law.”

Roper says, “So now you give the devil the benefit of the law.”

And Moore replies, “Yes, what would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the devil?”

Roper replies, “Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that.”

Moore responds as follows, and this is the part that I want you to think about:

“Oh? And when the last law was down and the devil turned round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, man’s laws, not God’s, and if you cut them down, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the devil the benefit of the law for my own safety’s sake.”

Though don't ask the Rep's that question, because they will give you an incorrect answer.
