Why do illegals, visa overstayers, and temp visa holders think that OUR CONSTITUTION ....?

It's really only the illegal aliens from down south who think that. That's a good question btw. dj there were no laws when people first came to America, so how could they have been here illegally.

to all the people who say "we are descendants of illegal immigrants" that may be true, but not for us!

i was BORN in america, i am a native, i am not an illegal immigrant

*also my ancestors came from ireland to ellis island legally

I agree one hundred Percent!

Probably because it does. The constitution covers a lot of rights and responsibilities...not just citizenship.

Dj, since apparently he's descended from illegal immigrants, answer the question and pretend *I* asked it. All of my 'ancestors' came here around 1940 and did it legally too.

I don't think they think US Laws should apply to them.

Many believe at the very least, the southwest belongs to Mexico and some believe the whole continent does... all the way up through Canada.

The first guy is correct... "all people within the US" so there is *some* protection under the Constitution.

These people are not stupid and are not ignorant. Instead, they deserve our sympathy. I have 2 arguments which prove your opinion of these people is morally corrupt.

First, you should not treat illegal immigrants as if they could leave if they wanted to. There are many of them in the US who are as socially and financially involved as you are-- America is their home now. Many of them have married citizens and have children who are also citizens. Now, though illegals have no "right" to be here, "rights" do not dictate what the government has a moral obligation to do in these complicated situations. THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR TEARING FAMILIES APART.

Second, there is no reason to deprive this one specific group, illegal immigrants, of rights that even the worst citizens have. An excellent example of these citizens is rapists. The constitution guarantees even the worst rapists a fair and speedy trial, freedom from cruel or unusual punishment, and far more rights. Think about this for a minute. The Founding Fathers intended that, even in the scenario that a man who raped and killed dozens of women was arrested, he would still be protected by the constitution! WHY THE HELL would the Founding Fathers keep illegal immigrants from getting the same rights as thieves, kleptomaniacs, drug dealers, cop killers, gangsters, and murderers? THEY WOULDN'T!

P.S.
Even if you still think I am wrong about the constitution, there ARE international standards for the treatment of illegal immigrants. Hence, your statement that "They have no rights" is patently false.

The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the United States. It is the foundation and source of the legal authority underlying the existence of the United States of America and the federal government of the United States. It provides the framework for the organization of the United States government and for the relationship of the federal government to the states, to citizens, and to all people within the United States.

So, how is it it's only for the citizens?

I hate to break it to you but you are descended from "Illegal Immigrants". Your ancestors arrived at some point in the last few hundred years and displaced the native americans who had been living there for thousands of years, comitting genocide into the bargain. So get down off your high horse.
