All of what you post is true, however, it is also true that the Constitution stops at our borders.

"the Constitution stops at our borders..."

We are not discussing what may be done by our government outside our borders to persons who are not citizens. We are talking about what our government can Constitutionally do in this country to persons present in this country with respect to crimes alleged to have been committed in this country by persons who are non-citizens.

Clearly, the Bill of Rights to the Constitution applies to this situation, and just as clearly President Bush's order is unconstitutional as applied to this factual scenario.
