If you did your homework, you'd know this, but I guess I have to hold your gawd

If you did your homework, you'd know this, but I guess I have to do it for you:

The distinctions between green card holders and undocumented immigrants, while not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, are derived from constitutional interpretation, federal law, and court rulings. Here’s how:

1. Text of the Constitution vs. Interpretation and Application:
   • The Constitution itself does not differentiate between lawful and unlawful immigrants in explicit terms.
   • However, key constitutional provisions such as the Fifth Amendment (due process) and Fourteenth Amendment (equal protection) apply to “persons,” meaning that both documented and undocumented immigrants have some protections.
   • The Plenary Power Doctrine, established through Supreme Court rulings, gives Congress broad authority over immigration policy, allowing for distinctions in how laws apply to different categories of noncitizens.
2. Statutory Law and Congressional Authority:
   • Congress has enacted immigration laws (e.g., the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq.) that define different immigration statuses and the rights associated with them.
   • Green card holders are granted more rights because they have been formally admitted as permanent residents under statutory law.
   • Undocumented immigrants do not have lawful status, which means they are subject to removal proceedings under the INA and do not qualify for many of the legal protections afforded to lawful residents.
3. Supreme Court and Federal Court Rulings:
   • Yick Wo v. Hopkins (1886): The Supreme Court ruled that constitutional protections apply to all “persons” within U.S. jurisdiction, not just citizens. This case is often cited to support the notion that undocumented immigrants still have some constitutional rights.
   • Zadvydas v. Davis (2001): The Court ruled that even undocumented immigrants are protected by due process and cannot be detained indefinitely without justification.
   • Mathews v. Diaz (1976): The Court explicitly held that Congress has broad power to distinguish between different classes of noncitizens, meaning that it is constitutional to provide green card holders with more rights and benefits than undocumented immigrants.
   • Plyler v. Doe (1982): The Court ruled that states cannot deny undocumented children access to public education, reinforcing that equal protection applies to all persons, not just citizens or legal residents, but still acknowledging that distinctions in rights can exist.
4. Derivation from Constitutional Text:
   • The Fifth Amendment guarantees due process to “any person,” meaning both legal and undocumented immigrants are entitled to basic legal protections.
   • The Fourteenth Amendment ensures equal protection under the law, but not all laws have to treat everyone identically. This has allowed for legal distinctions between different classes of noncitizens.
   • Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 grants Congress power over naturalization and immigration, which has been interpreted as allowing Congress to define different legal categories of noncitizens with differing rights.

Conclusion:​

The distinctions between green card holders and undocumented immigrants are not explicitly stated in the Constitution but are derived from a combination of:

1. Constitutional interpretation (e.g., due process and equal protection apply, but not necessarily equally).
2. Federal immigration statutes (which provide different rights and statuses to different classes of immigrants).
3. Supreme Court precedents (which affirm Congress’s authority to make distinctions between different noncitizen groups).

In other words, while the actual words of the Constitution provide the foundation, the distinctions themselves arise from statutory law and judicial interpretation.

I never said there wasn’t a difference between the two, wow you are dumb

What I said is both have due process rights, no different then a US citizen

What you have posted confirmed that

What you don’t seem to know is what due process or constitutional rights mean

You really are stupid.

[Rumpole]

How do you know these terrorists have green cards?

that isn't the point, moron.

 

[Rumpole]

Trump derangement syndrome is real and very serious. A therapist can help you.

The “context” is your delusional tirade which was all over the road like a drunk driver. You want a discussion? Choose a point, articulate it concisely. Save your tantrums for you birthing person.

You wouldn't know a well - articulated comment if it bit you on your gluteus maximus. TDS is thought-terminating cliche for morons. It was implanted in your pea brain by right wing manipulators for the purpose of curbing critical thinking and killing conversation. Only Kremlin Useful Idiots thinks it's a real thing, you dumb ******* moron.

Says the gender confused ****** whose tirades are full of personal attacks. You showed up with a bucket full of slop. You dumped that slop all over the discussion and now want to pretend like you are some kind of “well articulated” scholar. … You are just another butt-hurt TDS liberal who’s angst and frustration is bigger than the words you use.

"Federal immigration authorities arrested a Palestinian graduate student who played a prominent role in last spring’s anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, according to his attorney.

Mahmoud Khalil was inside his university-owned residence Saturday night near Columbia’s Manhattan campus when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered the building and took him into custody, his attorney, Amy Greer, told The Associated Press.

Greer said she spoke by phone with one of the ICE agents during the arrest, who said they were acting on State Department orders to revoke Khalil’s student visa. Informed by the attorney that Khalil was in the United States as a permanent resident with a green card, the agent said they were revoking that too, according to the lawyer.

The arrest appeared to be among the first known actions under President Donald Trump’s pledge to deport international students who joined the protests against Israel’s war in Gaza that swept college campuses last spring. His administration has claimed participants forfeited their rights to remain in the country by supporting Hamas, a terror organization."

Immigration agents arrest Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University protests

A prominent Palestinian activist who helped lead last spring's protests at Columbia University has been arrested by federal immigration agents.

apnews.com

The fascist Trump regime at its most authoritarian.

The unlawful, unwarranted detention of an immigrant lawfully in the country exercising his First Amendment right to freedom of expression.

And like the fascist thug he is, Trump is attempting to silence dissent and lawful protest.

Now he can fight for his beloved Gazans ... in Gaza.

So you are just making shit up to defend these terrorists?

It's called due process you fuckwit. Without it, it's a banana republic.

 

[fncceo]

It's called due process

Immigration and Naturalization is an executive branch agency. The Alien Exclusion Act was written and passed by a duly elected legislature.

You can't get any more due processed than that.
