"There are 15 million illegal aliens," Miller said adding that "if each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries"

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said in a video that went viral on Friday that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process protections when being removed from the United States, arguing that providing full legal proceedings would make deportations unworkable.

"There are 15 million illegal aliens," Miller said. "If each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries. They had no due process entering the country, and they are not entitled to it when being removed."

Supreme Court precedent has long held that constitutional protections apply to noncitizens within U.S. territory. In Wong Wing v. United States (1896), the Court ruled that the Fifth Amendment's due process clause protects noncitizens from arbitrary detention or punishment.

Yeah, that's kind of the point. You don't deport people out of spite or because it serves your agenda.

They had no due process entering the country, and they are not entitled to it when being removed.

Whatever that means. I'm not a scholar in matters of law, but I guess that Miller's opinion is as valuable as single ply toilet paper.

15 million! Crikey! Which orifice did he pull that number from?

Edit to add: This quote also enrages me.

“If each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries."

Then so be it you souless ghoul. Maybe you should take it down a notch or two if you're struggling to achieve your goals. What a absolutely bullshit reason. Does he think anyone would think that's a reasonable excuse?

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

I'll go second. Or 5,000th. As long as I get to piss on his grave on my future piss tour of these ghoul's graves.

Cannot wait to see that logic used on him when it comes to his time - he didn't do any of what he did with due process, so no due process is owed him when deciding what to do about his crimes....

Can he just come out of the closet already? Why take out whatever problems/insecurities/being in the closet or whatever he has out on everyone else?
