That's not exactly right. You and I probably agree that the Supreme Court has done some dumb things. But fairly settled Constitutional law does apply Freedom of Speech, religion etc. to all persons in the land. Now if you've violated some law and there's probably cause to arrest you, OK, I'm with you. But simply attending a protest rally (and I hate those things with their radical sponsors), I don't think qualifies. I don't believe that people should ignore the law. And I KNOW that some want to hype the word "illegal" as part of illegal alien. But all I'm saying is that there are categories of legality. And WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DECIDE is how we get people to a state of legality who may not be in that state. Crossing a border is a status violation. Definitely a violation of immigration of law. It's not murder. All I'm really saying is that if the immigration laws are fixed and we deal with the status conditions on a basis where the people who WANT to become Americans can earn the right to do so and the people who don't get SENT home, then that's what I'm for. I want to use our military to defeat terrorists. I want good border security to prevent terrorists here. But I cannot see how stigmatizing 11 million people buys us more security because it doesn't.
"But I cannot see how stigmatizing 11 million people buys us more security because it doesn't."
I could not agree more.
