Human Rights

In case our current situation isn't clear:
In a country where only citizens have rights then no one has rights.

Because at that point the only hurdle for the fascists is just to declare you aren't a citizen anymore and you no longer have rights and there is nothing you can do to stop it

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It says "the people" when it mention people, not "citizens".

So rounding up people because of their media posts breaks the law. It does not matter what their immigration status: they are free and the government cannot consider what they write or speak.
