Khizr Khan referenced the 14th amendment in his speech.
"I will gladly lend you my copy. In this document, look for the words, look for the words, liberty and equal protection (under) law,"
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 law
So do these rights apply to Muslim refugees or other immigrants who are not citizens?
No, but we're probably propping up their economies. Time to stop this foolishness.
Christopher Turner
lol no
if you want dem sweet rights and privileges you gotta play ball, baby.
Jeremiah Campbell
Yet again, no.
Nathan Rivera
>of citizens >within its jurisdiction It says so right there. It didn't even need to but it does.
Angel Cooper
The Muslim who attacked Donald Trump, Khizr Muazzam Kahn, is a Muslim Brotherhood agent, working to bring Muslims into the United States. After reading what we discovered so far, it becomes obvious that Khan wanted to ‘trump’ Trump’s Muslim immigration. But not so fast. Trump we have your back.
Khizr Muazzam Khan graduated in Punjab University Law College, as the New York Times confirms. and he specialized in International Trade Law in Saudi Arabia. An interest lawyer for Islamic oil companies Khan wrote a paper, called In Defense of OPEC to defend the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), an intergovernmental oil company consisting of mainly Islamic countries. Kahn is a promoter of Islamic Sharia Law. Khan is also co-founder of the Journal of Contemporary Issues in Muslim Law (Islamic Sharia).
>of citizens of the united states pretty damn clear
Isaac Hughes
Is there an argument for it applying?
any "persons"?
David Martinez
No. Citizen is the operative word here. Its not out job to act as the benevolent father to to children that aren't our own. That is literal cuckoldry.
Brayden Wright
>nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
this is what im getting at
>nor shall any State deprive any PERSON of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
Jack Sanders
>read my copy of the constitution >you'll find it says nothing about denying entry to people that are actively waging war on the US
Tyler Rivera
>Nor shall any State...
Trump plans to leverage Federal, not State, jurisdiction to impose the Muslim immigrant ban. Fully within Executive Order power.
Jacob Stewart
this is what pisses me off. liberals pretend like the constitution applies to every person on the planet.
Juan Sanders
The important part is the "without due process of law"
as in, we will follow the law, which says to remove your non-citizen ass from the premises. lawfully.
Levi Cook
never though of it that way. Neat.
Christian Reyes
No. Only citizens have rights. And even then a person only has rights when their government is obligated to defend those rights with military force by law. The Leftists like to project rights onto noncitizens as a way to buy votes. "Vote for us and we'll give you all these benefits" while voting for the Right won't reward them in such a way. They use this same tactic in California, where I live. Real American Californians are dominantly Right, but the Leftists managed to remove voter id laws. Lo and behold, after removing voter ID laws we have been plagued by Leftist leaders and Leftist Policies. And its worth noting that Texas and North Carolina have just repealed voter ID laws. These 3 States have the highest numbers of illegals. Coincidence, right?
Jacob Sullivan
>Does the United States Constitution apply to non-citizens? no.
it applies only to the same citizens that maintain it.
Mason Walker
Indeed. We wont kill or enslave illegals, just deport them. And if the rare case exists such that they managed to legally aquire ownership of land(ie. not squatting) than a case could be made for them to become citizens. Hell, at that point they're better americans than a good portion of the population.
Hunter Jenkins
Why the fuck would your citizenry laws apply to ANY other country's citizen? Fuck man, did they accidentally skip to the back of script and are already acting as if there's one world government?
Eli Mitchell
Nope, non citizens do not have constitutional protections. We do not have to give them any special treatment or respect their "religion"
Jonathan Foster
it should to people in trial, but not to captured war criminals
Non resident, non citizens have no rights under the US Constitution.
The US Supreme Court went much farther than Trump when it upheld FDR's internment of Japanese citizens during WWII. Korematsu has been upheld and citing numerous times. Basically, times of war justify deference to Congress and the military. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korematsu_v._United_States
So, no rights in first place. If there were, there would still be exceptions.
Logan Lewis
Everyone here is saying no with regard to immigration, but I think he was also referencing the bit about subjecting muslims in the US, presumably citizens included, to extraordinary scrutiny by intelligence services.
