If they are charged with a crime and going to be put in an American prison then yeah, give them a trial but if they are going to be deported then they do not have the right to a trial.

Good thing that you are not negotiating treaties. All "people" have the right to a hearing, and a trial in America. To whit: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
It says Person, not born or naturalized citizen.

So do you agree with the leftists that we have many terrorist suspects being held illegally by the U.S.?

That is after all, the position that you just defended.

And then there's this:

...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

You inadvertently posted the answer to your rantings against a "wall." The Federal government takes private property for ridiculous reasons; securing the borders is not a ridiculous reason.

Oh, and Texas is actually part of the U.S.; your fantasies notwithstanding.
