You are a weird fella Hugh. -- Apparently, a 'bleeding heart' republican, to you, would be one who upheld our republics constitution as per the 'peoples' rights.
Over & over people & persons are mentioned in the constitution, yet you would deny them rights unless they are citizens.

I can only conclude that you have some strange inablity to see that our republic was based on the idea of persons everywhere having inalienable rights. - Those same 'persons', legally in US jurisdiction, are protected by our constitution.
Illegal aliens are dealt with by various US Codes, -- again, -- under constitutional law, - depending on the criminality of their 'illegal' status. --- Thus. the controversy over a harmless little boy.

Why you seem to be having such a problem with such simple concepts is best left to mental health experts, imo.

"Under Constitutional Law" which says that some "little boys" are not protected by the Bill of Rights - i.e. they don't have a 5th Amendment liberty to stay here, since, as the Constitution says, they're not "of the United States". They can be loaded on the railroad car, under the Constitution.

As William F. Buckley said - That non-citizens [on US Soil] have inferior privileges, [one of which is the protection of an unalienable right of liberty] does not offend [one who is not a bleeding heart].

"You are a weird fella Hugh.

But I'm in William F. Buckley's and Thomas Sowell's camp, and you're in Patrick Leahy's. Now who's the weird one?

-- Apparently, a 'bleeding heart' republican, to you, would be one who upheld our republics constitution as per the 'peoples' rights.

By providing any vagrant who washes up on our soil a free lawyer, you're the one who is NOT upholding our republic's Constitution as per the "people of the United States"' rights. You think you're upholding the Constitution, but in reality, I'm the one who's interpreting it correctly and upholding it - and protecting the general welfare. You would allow foreign criminals to have an increased and undeserved chance to live another day to kill another American.

Over & over people & persons are mentioned in the constitution, yet you would deny them rights unless they are citizens.

Over and over again, the "person's" mentioned are "of the United States". You've got to put the document in context, otherwise you'll be providing free US Taxpaid lawyers to Japanese citizens. I can only conclude that you are a bleeding heart republican, along with backup, A.J. Armitage, and Luis Gonzalez.
