“Aldrete-Davila, who faces no charges, is believed to be considering a civil suit against the agents and the United States Government. It is believed that he will seek $5M for the violation of his civil rights.”

Since when do wetbacks have civil rights?

Drug smuggling wetbacks. Some greedy plaintiffs lawyer is licking his chops over this one. The slime rises to the top. 99% of all lawyers give the other 1% a bad name.

Illegal immigrants do not have any US Civil Rights. But it is common these days to misuse the therm "civil rights" as though it were synonymous with "human rights."

Civil rights are those rights granted to citizens. In other words, they are privileges. Referring to them as "rights" is purely metaphorical (a usage I detest.)

Human rights are those rights that all humans have at all times and in all places. There is no need to "grant" them. They are not privileges. The US Constitution recongizes them, and requires that the government respect them. But it does not grant them.

The instant they cross the border. The Constitution guarantees rights to "people," not "citizens."

Since God gave them to them.
