What if they claim that you are an illegal alien and in a single day deport you to do slave labor in El salvador without any chance of court appearance... Because you know.. you were not born here... Government says so. You cant even come back because you cannot get a visa, since you are.. you know.. a criminal. Imagine that.

The constitution is not for citizens; it does not give us rights. It's a limitation on the power of government. The importance of due process is spelled out in the constitution, which public officials swear an oath to uphold. We really do not want those folks in the habit of ignoring due process.
