Trump said, in response to host Bill O'Reilly arguing illegal immigrants would be entitled to due process before being deported, "If they're here illegally they may or they may not be [entitled to due process]. Just like the argument we had about the anchor babies. In my opinion, you don't need -."
After O'Reilly cut in to object, "I'm telling you all settled law says once you're here, you are entitled to our constitutional protections, every single case."
Trump countered, "I disagree.

I disagree also. No papers....out you go.
As an Administrative Law professor once said: “Sure, everyone is entitled to due process. The question is what process is due.”
Actually, I feel the same. I realize the Declaration and Constitution says “all men are......”
But my interpretation of it is for US citizens or persons legally here. Might not be right, but it’s the way I feel.
NO! It is not an “open question”. They are not US citizens under any scenario and they are here illegally. They get the boot! No if, ands, or buts.
Someone should ask Bill if that includes guns.
“Actually, I feel the same. I realize the Declaration and Constitution says “all men are......”
It is all context. When you read the Constitution, they were very restrictive in who they regarded as “all men”.
Nah, sue them all for the fun of it.
Sure. They have a right to be sent back to their homelands instead of being jailed or worse.
Isn't that what due process would be? The message...go home on your own, because if you're forced out, you can never return.
When the Establishment says it “settled” what they mean is their emotion based PC dogmas trump their abilty to think about the issue.
Climate change? “Settled Science”
Abortion? “Settled Law”
Anything about Illegal Immigration? “Settled Law”
Trump is the kid pointing out to the PC Empire in Politics/Media that no, in fact, they are not wearing any clothing.
Trump is right, again, re: the issue of ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS.
FOX continues to support the traitorous group known as the Cheap Labor Express.
Come to think of it. MAKE A DEAL. They work for 20 years and all their taxes go into the cost of the wall, no deductions, 10% flat.
Then speed up the process...no reason to drag it out like they do. Should be a one day deal.
Illegals are invaders in my book. All this hoo-ha about rights is driven by liberals wanting votes and lawyers trying to make a buck.
Due to our Guantanamo guests, that question was hanging over most of the court cases dealing with the detainees. That is why the whole thing went to military courts, since they are military prisoners.
But the final determination was made that they do NOT have due process, because they are not citizens. The Law of Land Warfare assisted in this determination, because it specifically stated that prisoners could be held until the war was over and that they did not come under capturing countries laws unless they specifically broke those laws during the period they were held.
Now there’s the line Trump should use!!
As applicable, which would certainly mean a fair trial on both civil and criminal aspects of allegations that they are present illegally. Civil is easier, so they could be shipped out on less than it would take to charge with a crime.
Trump can disagree all he wants but if the law requires an administrative process be followed in order to deport someone then the law has to be followed. Trump can work to change it but he can’t ignore it. We’ve had too much of that from occupants of the Oval Office already.
They are invaders. Not burglars. Not tresspassers even.
I believe Trump is right, if they are foreign subjects then we should NOT be obligated to waste legal resources on them, back they go. Promptly and with due respect, not all are bad people.
