It sounds like it from your post.
Did you notice the sarcasm? I wish no harm to anyone but, if the illegals want rights, they have to earn them legally.
Didn't see / sarc in there. And illegals referes to immigration status. However, they are still afforded criminal protection. Otherwise, as I wrote, the situation would become that illegals have no rights ergo you can do with them as you please, including what would be considered crimes to people legally in the country. Everyone in this country does have some level of rights. Illegals are not and should not be granted entitlements and social services, but they still have the same basic human rights not to be anyone else has and the criminal system will treat them as any other person. At this time, the constitution applies to everyone in the U.S., not just citizens. Legal status must be earned, but everyone in this country is entitled to the same basic criminal protections.
Do you see the point I'm making? By threatening her with deportation, which is outside this judge's jurisdiction, he was setting up a situation where a real crime, possibly mortal in nature, could occur. If the logic of illegal status = no criminal protection, then illegals would become less than animals.
