“The money can be found/printed if required.”

Nonsense. Money isn't magic. There just aren't enough judges and lawyers out there to make it happen. Printing unlimited money would not change that.

The fact is _all_ systems make mistakes. Due process doesn't entirely stop innocent people from being harmed either.

Due process would minimise the risk. Money can and does get printed. Executive orders can and do redirect it. So it's possible.

A "shoot first and asking questions later" approach seems a tad antiquated.

Or "guilty until proven innocent".

Think about the energy required to undo the harm done to one person getting mistakenly deported. The legal battles, lawsuits etc. Suddenly due process makes more sense.
