I’m done with this conversation.. There is no gray area. By law, the full protections of due process under the U.S. Constitution are primarily guaranteed to U.S. citizens. Sure, while certain procedural safeguards may extend to non-citizens under specific circumstances, the government retains broad authority to initiate deportation proceedings, often without the same legal guarantees afforded to citizens. In essence, due process is a shield of citizenship, without it, your presence here is conditional, not absolute. Simple.
