The Bill of Rights
Why does it seem that so many in America desire to extend the Bill of Rights to non-US-citizens?
Politicians have made cases for due process for illegal immigrants and detainees in Guantanamo.
The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights was written for and about US citizens.
Even if you are a US Citizen a reading of Article V. surely suggests that you can be held without indictment if it is a time of war or public danger. I would suggest that the destruction of the WTC surely qualifies for this.
So where are these non-citizen rights coming from?
