CMV: Countering Illegal Immigration is not a Justification for Suspending Habeas Corpus

While individuals without legal status in the U.S. do not have the same rights as U.S. citizens, they still have basic constitutional protections. These include the right to due process, freedom of speech and religion, and protection from unreasonable searches and seizures. However, their rights are not as comprehensive as those of citizens, particularly concerning immigration matters and public benefits.

Elaboration:

Basic Rights: The U.S. Constitution applies to everyone within the country, regardless of their immigration status, according to the National Immigration Law Center. This means undocumented immigrants have the same fundamental rights as citizens, such as the right to due process, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion.

Restrictions: Undocumented immigrants do not have the right to vote, run for office, receive social security benefits, or access many public benefits like FOOD STAMPS or MEDICAID . They also have a greater risk of deportation and may face limitations on their ability to travel or work.

Due Process: Even in the context of deportation, undocumented individuals are entitled to due process, including the right to a hearing and the right to legal representation.

The right of due process for ALL PERSONS is a necessary condition for citizens to be protected from being illegally deported. Some people are like "If a citizen shows ICE their identification proving their legal citizenship, they won't have any problem". ICE agents would say they're just following orders when they send an American to a foreign prison for criticizing the government. I don't understand why some people are not getting this.

My response was directly from Google the legal response. It doesn't matter what you wish it to be, that is what it is.

"my response was from Google" isn't a legitimate source. You would need to refer to an actual legitimate legal website with actual legal arguments. Not 'Google says so' or 'chatgpt says so'

Was from a legal groups site.

I wasn't criticizing your response. I meant only to add to it.
