If you can't handle being on the losing side, you should have just been Mexican.

Oh do explain, since it's so easy.

I'm not going to explain the intricacies of the criminal justice system to someone who clearly doesn't understand the most basic concept of due process. It's also irrelevant; you don't get to ignore the Constitution because respecting people's inalienable rights is inconvenient.

But I thought America's prison system was broken too?

It certainly is, but that's a separate issue. Also, how much of a psychopath do you have to be to say "The prison system has flaws, therefore we should just abandon it and throw people in internment camps". That's fascist talk.

Finally you say something we can all agree upon.

Clearly not since you're proudly advocating against due process as guaranteed by the Constitution.

Your analogy isn't applicable.

Because you don't want it to be... Sure it isn't applicable to every single situation, but I'd be willing to guess it applies to a majority.

What I want has nothing to do with it, it's inapplicable by the facts of the situation. It would be applicable to uniformed border patrol agents catching migrants in the process of crossing the border, or a uniformed police officer arresting an illegal migrant in the process some other crime. But these officers are not uniformed, and the fact that multiple legal migrants and US citizens have been rounded up proves that they don't even have probable cause.

Isn't being in a country when you're not supposed to be "mid-crime"?

No. Entering the country illegally is a crime, residing in it afterwards is a civil offense.

Again, it's not perfect, but nothing is. All I can hope is that the actual victims are compensated handsomely.

Nothing is perfect, but this isn't even good. It's flagrant disregard for the Constitution. Again, you don't get to discard the Constitution because it makes your job harder.

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The Constitution is very clear. Doesn't matter how they got here, every person in the jurisdiction of American law is guaranteed due process.

Maybe you should read the news, and stop getting all your information from your WASP neighbors in Bumblefuck, USA.
