Interesting. I hadn't known that. The bit about engaging in campaigning, I mean.
If you break any of our laws, you are subject to deportation, although the judge can choose not to enforce that.
Not surprising, but I wouldn't read this as a lack of a right. The U.S. should retain the option to tell people to get out rather than having to pay their living expenses.
Those are just two of the "rights" you do not have if you are not a citizen. I'm sure there are others, but those two stand out as areas where alians are not protected by the Bill of Rights.
The first you mention is a right. The second is a matter of punishment not meted out to citizens.
Well, natural born citizens would have no country to which they could be deported -- i.e. they can't create a retroactive native country for you from the country of your ancestors.
Naturalized citizens may be stripped of their citizenship if their crime has been grievous enough. It's not done too often now, but this method was used against the Mafia years ago.
The fact that resident aliens are not afforded Freedom of Speech in political matters is not widely known (except by them because it is explained when they are admitted.) Australian friends of mine in Houston were nearly deported 10 years ago because of political activity in a local election. A complaint to the INS by a disgruntled neighbor set the wheels of justice into motion, and it became a problem that was amazing to behold. It took 10 years of appeals and more than $50,000 for them to win the right to stay here.
a Greek friend told me that when he got his green card, a judge told him to be very careful about all laws and to NEVER get involved in elections and he would be all right.
