Sorry, the definition of criminal is irrelevant. He's a non-citizen. He has zero rights.

He's a non-citizen. He has zero rights.

the supremes disagree with you on this. they even give rights to non-natural persons (corporations).

It's NOT irrelevant.
The POST-er I was responding to defined "criminal" in a ridiculous way to include anyone even suspected of a crime.
I was responding to his definition of criminal and not to the separate issue of the visa violations of non-citizens. I absolutely agree that the rights of citizens should not be extended to non-citizens.
But I just couldn't let such a mistaken assertion stand without comment.
