Quote:Except for that pesky concept called Due Process which applies to all people in US jurisdiction be it citizens, residents or aliens. (Yes, that includes illegal aliens.)

Quote:I agree.  However, I was way too general with my statement.  There should be no restrictions to deport and/or deny re-entry to non-U.S. citizens that have violated the law.  That pretty much takes care of the illegal aliens.

Quote:Better, and I assumed as much when I first read your post but still felt the need to point it out. There's still a lot of gray area there though with regards as to what constitutes a violation of the law. Surely a traffic ticket should not be a reason to deport someone, even though it's a violation of the law. So in a sense that does place a certain amount of restriction on the government, though once an unequivocal violation has taken place they should have the choice to deport.
