And you believe illegals are entitled to the same civil rights that we have?

At first I thought that I am not going to dignify that idiotic question with an answer, but then I thought better of it because I am worried sick about the understanding of our Constitution and what it means for a free people.

The Bill of Rights is not so much a statement of the rights of individuals as it is a restriction on the powers of the state. Imagine a world in which the state could do anything it wanted to get you into court on criminal charges and then the burden of proof was on you to demonstrate that you are a lawful citizen or resident before you could claim any of your other rights.

The State does not suddenly become all powerful if it can claim that you are an illegal anything. You want rights? We found that you claimed $38 for a meal on your tax return and you only paid $32 and here is the restaurant receipt showing the total with tip. So don't challenge the fact that we rubber hosed a confession out of you in violation of the 4th and 5th amendments. You have no rights. So what that no one was raped. You admitted to it.

No my friend, there is a lot you need to contemplate before you head down this road.
