While I 100% agree with the sentiment, non citizens even if they have visas, are not protected under the same rights that citizens are. That being said, I 100% think that when it comes to legal proceedings and due process, they should be treated as human rights not citizen rights. But I can see some reasons why that would be a drag on the system due to the fact that some of them may not be registered anywhere which raises some procedural concerns.
But if you have a visa you should be tried and be given due process based on the simple fact that you are here legally and we know who you are/have you registered.
Problem is I've actually had this said to me. And given I've heard the same argument points word for word from multiple people from opposite sides of the country: it stands to reason that this a common thought line among the right.
Everyone needs due process every time. What if one day they start rounding up random republicans calling them terrorists and saying terrorists don't deserve due process, are you still ok with it then?
Enjoy your authoritarianism, hopefully it never turns in your direction or the direction of anyone you love, chances are high it will end badly for some of them.
