Amendment XIV 1. ... nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
This doesn't apply to ILLEGAL ALIENS, only to legal residents and citizens. People who are here illegally have no rights under the law. Spin all you want, the constitution is not for illegals, the constitution also gives each state the right to determine who is a legal resident or citizen within their state. Don't take one article out of context and try to justify illegal aliens being here and having rights. The only right they have is the right to be deported, and the sooner the better.
It was written without any of the exceptions that you find in the Bill of Rights. "Time of war or public danger etc." I have no idea why that wasn't put in there, but it wasn't. It says what it says.

The federal government isn't a State.

The Govt has the rightful power to detain illegal aliens lawbreakers, with or without a war going on. This isn't hard to figure out.
