The Govt has the rightful power to detain illegal aliens lawbreakers, with or without a war going on. This isn't hard to figure out.

Well it certainly should have that rightful power, but it does seem to be at odds with that 14th amendment.

Government detention of illegal aliens is *not* against the 14th amendment, or our immigration laws would be a chaos.

Of course, by reciprocity, other countries have broad powers to detain US citicizens indefinitely.

Goodness, I hope so.
I don't have a problem with racial profiling, but with Islam it can be a problem, e.g. look at folks in Albania, Thailand and the Philippines.

Just curious, but where do get that interpretation? The text of the 14th amendment just says, "...any person...", without specifying their citizenship status. You could always start with "We the People..."

If this stands I wonder if this will be reciprocal - will we accept that other countries have the right to hold Americans who violate their visas (or don't have a visa) indefinitely without explanation?It levels the field. Of the 27 nations that share a visa waiver program with the USA, virtually all of them retain the ability to detain US citizens/nationals for any reason. These are Andorra, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brunei, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom*. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/vwp/vwp.xml

What's new? Now the US cannot claim that it's not reciprocity. Nor can we complain that people are held without charge, bail, access to lawyers, etc. Of course, the State Department now has less work to do; they can just let US citizens stay in jail if the jailing country claims it's important.
