When did citizens of other nations gain USA constitutional rights?
According to Senator Van Hollen discussing illegal alien Abrego Garcia has U.S. “Constitutional Rights.” Van Hollen claimed on CBS, “I want to be really clear, this is not a case about just one man whose constitutional rights are being ignored and disrespected. Because when you trample on the constitutional rights of one man, as the courts have all said is happening in this case, you threaten the constitutional rights of every American.” WATCH:

Everything is a power struggle, isn’t it? Nobody wants to do what’s best for the nation; they only want to do what will make them some money and make them feel powerful.
I disagree. Having worked in politics for many years, I believe that Sundance’s assessment is correct. Democrats want power, and they use money to acquire it. Republicans want money, and they use power to acquire it.
In this particular case though, you are correct. Van Hollen being a Democrat may be fearful of losing his seat, and is using this press/photo op to bolster his standing with his left wing constituents.
You got it – on the money!
…and to think, Van Hollen is a US Senator! How could he not understand that Garcia is NOT a US Citizen, even IF he were – he still would rightfully be in prison for the rest of his days (on our $$$)! Maybe since Van Hollen is so infatuated with Garcia, we should get a “Go Fund Me” page to send him to El Salvador to share Garcia’s prison cell — he sure ain’t doing anything good here, we won’t even miss him! The fewer radical leftist idi*ts in Congress the better!
He understands. He doesn’t care
Exactly.
He knows… he’s a lying liar who doesn’t care.
He only cares for the Illegal Alien
Who
Has
NO
‘Constitutional’
Rights!!!!
This Illegal Alien had already stretched his stay in the US as far as his lies and manipulation of our system of laws could take him.
He could have self-deported… I have no sympathy for a wife-beating, lying gang member.
Who Never should have been here.
This so-called senator is a Pied Piper of Leftism – leading people astray, as he plays his tune of lunacy.
And what about the illegal immigrant wife, deport her too
He’s obviously owned by at least one cartel… Globullist $tring-Puller$ being one, SoAm cartels are many, which are all here now too.
Is it far-fetched to wonder if the SoAm cartel thugs are employed by the G$Ps – mafia-muscle-style???
VanH is a lowly insect-in-a-jar for these satanic miscreants… their sock puppet mouthpiece getting a hit job on American Citizen’s Constitutional Rights done for them.
**Allegedly**
Is VH gay?
Good question.
He went to Harvard and is a lawyer. This from the web:
Van Hollen supports transgender rights, having signed a letter in July 2017 in opposition to an announced military ban.
Well….he did sip fruity margaritas with the wife-beating gang banger. One more drink and VH coulda been dropping his pants….
2 MS 13 thugs killed Seth Rich as the Marxist group Antifa and BLM, are the Thugs to do the bidding of the deep state. Now these criminals.
Any other explanation? They need thugs to carry out their dirty work and chaos.
He has drunk the koolaid with a black pill. There’s no bringing him and his ilk back.
Same Democrats who believed native born Americans had NO Constitutional rights during the Covid “emergency.”
Same Democrats who believed native born Americans had NO Constitutional rights if they were near the US Capitol on J6.
Better to remain silent and be thought the fool then speak and remove all doubt.

Abe Lincoln I think.
Time for the senator to be forced to resign by the rest of his colleagues. They should refuse to allow him to take his seat on the floor of the senate.
Yes, but it will never happen in that “club”.
I am hoping and praying Mike Lee will stand up against it!
At least funds have been restricted for others trying to pull the same stunt
This is a couple days old but I just re-located the headline
House Oversight Chair James Comer Denies Democrats Taxpayer Funds to Visit MS-13 Gang Member in El Salvador: ‘Spend Your Own Money’
Nobody will stand up for us – except Trump. They are all too compromised to do anything good. Where is the perp in the movie “Designated Survivor?” when you need him.
It has in the past. The “club” does have the option. If the barbarians at the gate get loud enough, you better believe they will take it, least it might be them.
The funny thing about this is, if we start with Mr. El Salvador and work our way down to the bribery, financial misconduct, election fraud and moral turpitude (past reasons for expulsion). We should damn near clear the place out. lol
Not one will speak up against Van Hollen. There are no patriots there!
Van Hollen when did illegals who broke the law have constitutional rights ? You moronic fool trying to bring a wife beating, human smuggling illegal back after democrats illegally brought him in. While fighting for this illegal can you bring back the two women murdered by illegals in your state that democrats jetted in ?
He only cares about accomplishing forcing the narrative INTO > the setting of a legal precedent FOR the criminal globullists/cartels to further erode American Citizen’s Constitutional Protection of OUR Unaleinable Rights…
the usurpers have found it a hard row to hoe so far… BUT,
if illegal-foreign-terrorist-gangbangers have “constitutional Rights” they can & will use 2A to outright murder Americans freely; not only on every street corner, but also inside every home they invade as well…
and then claim “self defense” consistently.
Pretty much what that black thug – now he’s “the victim” ostensibly – who murdered the young gentleman at the high school track meet is doing; he’s elevated to “hero status” due to his invented “victimhood” and “white rage”, etc.
There are too many similarities to ignore, imo.
Satanic inversion makes the perpetrator into the victim; can you see what they’re doing & how they’re doing it???
This is the current iteration of our ongoing Good v evil contest.
VanH is a satanic puppet; a foreign agent/ domestic enemy USURPER masquerading as a “US Senator”.
All *Allegedly* of course.
Nothing else clears up the mystery of his Traitorous behavior.
Who owns ya, Chris?

What about this:
In 1903, the Court in the Japanese Immigrant Case reviewed the legality of deporting an alien who had lawfully entered the United States, clarifying that an alien who has entered the country, and has become subject in all respects to its jurisdiction, and a part of its population could not be deported without an opportunity to be heard upon the questions involving his right to be and remain in the United States.1 In the decades that followed, the Supreme Court maintained the notion that once an alien lawfully enters and resides in this country he becomes invested with the rights guaranteed by the Constitution to all people within our borders.2
Eventually, the Supreme Court extended these constitutional protections to all aliens within the United States, including those who entered unlawfully, declaring that aliens who have once passed through our gates, even illegally, may be expelled only after proceedings conforming to traditional standards of fairness encompassed in due process of law.3 The Court reasoned that aliens physically present in the United States, regardless of their legal status, are recognized as persons guaranteed due process of law by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.4 Thus, the Court determined, [e]ven one whose presence in this country is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory is entitled to that constitutional protection.5 Accordingly, notwithstanding Congress’s indisputably broad power to regulate immigration, fundamental due process requirements notably constrained that power with respect to aliens within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.6

Need to change this. How fitting that we have an example of what happens if we don’t.
You are correct. The government cannot just shoot illegal aliens. Why not? Because, whether we like it or not, they have certain Constitutional rights. Not all of them — they can’t vote.
No question this guy is deportable under almost any circumstances and has a lawful deportation order, but he had an asylum hearing in 2019 and the judge granted a stay of deportation. Deporting him under the Alien Enemies Act may work.
Does that apply to “enemy combatants” who try to usurp our constitution?
Based on a wrong interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
In this so very wrong headed Senator’s mind, does he believe that Americans have Constitutional rights? I’m thinking not.
A couple of days ago I posted on my FB page that illegals in this country had no rights. Immediately a woman said that anyone in this country had rights. I think we are pretty close to just being over the hill with so many stupid people. Edumacation (GWB) has failed them.
Unfortunately…the courts seem to be granting them those rights 🙁
It’s always been said ” the law is a ass”.
Retired Magistrate here: Don’t be too shocked; the Supreme Court’s decision to intern Japanese citizens and take all their property, without due process, has never been officially overturned. There have been cases where the Court expressed its disapproval, but it has never been overturned.
So, in this case we have non citizens who are here illegally given the rights that the Japanese citizens should have been given in World War II.
The Supreme Court does have a history of ignoring the Constitution when it serves the Court’s purpose; whatever that purpose might be.
THANK YOU Ma’am For CONFIRMING my ( and Many’s ) Suspicions
That THOMAS JEFFERSON Was CORRECT –
” If [as the Federalists say] “the judiciary is the last resort in relation to the other departments of the government,” … , then indeed is our Constitution a complete felo de so. … The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they may please. It should be remembered, as an axiom of eternal truth in politics, that whatever power in any government is independent, is absolute also; in theory only, at first, while the spirit of the people is up, but in practice, as fast as that relaxes. Independence can be trusted nowhere but with the people in mass. They are inherently independent of all but moral law … — Letter to Judge Spencer Roane, Nov. 1819 ”

https://encyclopediavirginia.org/primary-documents/letter-from-thomas-jefferson-to-spencer-roane-september-6-1819/
i FIRMLY BELIEVE in the JACKSONIAN Method for judicial Compliance in THIS CASE –
” John Marshall made his decision; now let him enforce it. ”

I agree. Where I grew up we had Jefferson and Jackson events, maybe a special day to re-dedicate to our independence.
It used to be a Democratic Party thing, but needs to be the mantra of a free and independent people.
That is because the TRUE last resort to the actions of any (or even all) the departments of the government is not the courts.
If the courts fail, the second-to-last resort is the States.
If the States fail then the ultimate last resort will be with the People themselves.
Let us hope the courts and the Congress come to their senses and we do not face such drastic challenges any time soon. There is still some time left.
Weren’t most of them actually American Citizens of Japanese heritage?
Retired Magistrate here: Naturalized Japanese Americans, Japanese immigrants and other people of Japanese descent were sent to the internment camps all without individual review or due process. This was done by Executive Order 9066 signed by FDR on February 19, 1942. Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese on December 7, 1941 so this Order was issued shortly after Pearl Harbor was bombed.
yes Ma’am
i Grew Up PERSONALLY KNOWING 2 Different Families – 1 From Hawaii ( my Elementary School Teacher ) and a Coast Guard Officer from California, Who’s Parents were Interned during the War.
Yes, I grew up in California and some of my neighbors who were immigrants from Japan but had become. citizens were sent to camps in California. The site of the Santa Anita racetrack in Arcadia was the site of one such camp back then.
At least 11,000 ethnic German Americans (Presidential Proclamation 2526,) and over 1,800 Italians (Proclamation 2527) were also interned. This gets almost no attention now.
Most of them were immigrants not US Citizens (unlike the Japanese internments.)
The internments of Japanese applied only for those resident in the 48 states, not those living in Hawaii. An energetic proponent behind the push for internments of Japanese was Earl Warren. Warren was governor of California at the time. He went on to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
And CBS allows these lies to just pass without any pushback. No court has said that this illegal’s “constitutional rights” have been violated, let alone every court.
You’re correct that there has been no hearing on the merits, just a series of TROs and appeals.
Trump team is doing a masterful job of dealing with these corrupt politicans and MSM!
Thank you Trump from the bottom of my heart for standing up for the American Way. It also sounds like what was said on the old Superman black and white tv show from the 1950’s. Standing up for the American Way!
Go Trump GO
In the background Trump is working with his team in the (AG,FBI, CIA, DOD, etc to shine the light on the corruption.
I do understand some of MAGA is upset that more is not being done, and people arrested, etc. Please understand many of these agencies still have sleeper cells in the DOJ, DOD, FBI, CIA that will go into action to “tank” any arrests/trials that Trump puts forward. So Trump Team has to uncover all these RATS , and it takes time. If you can honestly tell me that TRUMP was not wounded by these RATS in the past, you are a dumb person. Trump tried to uncover the corruption in his first term, and the Deep State destroyed him, and went after people that supported Trump.
So, this is the second fight in Trump’s Second crack at bringing down the corrupt government. This is a big FIGHT for the SOUL and SPIRIT of the USA. PRAY that TRUMP team says connected to GOD and GOD’S HELPERS .
Amen.
Keep dreaming Rich . It’s not happened yet because it’s not important to them. Nobody will be held accountable .
Erasing the difference between “citizen” and “alien” has been a hallmark of the Left for decades. I wouldn’t expect any more from the party that justified throwing open our borders to millions of unvetted invaders.
It does surprise me, though, how that ilk will bandy around the word “Constitutional” like that. You’d think it would set their tongues on fire.
J
Yes.
The Founding Fathers must be turning in their graves.
Were they alive today, they would be reloading their muskets by now.
There has been a fight for decades to give all these illegal aliens here citizenship and that is a battle they’ve largely lost (I point to the DACA situation as an example).
So what they are doing now is saying “The hell with ‘citizenship’ the word, we’ll just give them all the benefits of being a citizen and who then cares about that word.
They have made being a citizen here mean less and less.
That is at the heart of Globalism. They believe there should be no national boundaries, no national citizenship and everyone all across the world should be the same.
It is just like the John Lennon song: “Imagine there’s no countries. It isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion too”
It’s just like what Hillary Clinton was after: a “common market with open trade and open borders.”
That is what they want – one big socialist atheist globalist utopia.
Irish history doesn’t mean we are obligated to take in an infinite number of migrants from the 3rd world.

Immigration — Issue of the Century
https://buchanan.org/blog/immigration-issue-of-the-century-16368
Pat Buchanan and Mark Steyn both saw it – and warned about it – years – decades! ago.
But TPTB did their best to muffle these modern-day ‘Paul Reveres’ who cried out:
“The illegals
Are coming!
The illegals are coming!”
Pat was the first to face the full on Alinsky canard playbook, after he won the 96 paper ballot New Hampshire Primary. Ty Bob.
Nearly a mathematical certainty at this point.
We’re going to have to work like little demons to awaken the rest of America as our life truly does depend upon it.
We have a government where 99% of those in office do not have our best interests at heart.
Van Hollen is only one.
No he’s not only one, that is a huge mistake in thinking that.
He’s the voice of many, this is where they are now going with this.
I think that the poster meant, “Van Hollen in only one of many” not “Van Hollen is the ONLY one.”
Exactly what I meant. He is only one of the 99%.
This guy doesn’t even believe that. He knows better.
It’s sad that he has no problem dividing this country and creating a frenzy of rage on the Left.
Eventually we’ll see violence because you can’t even have an honest conversation with these scoundrels.
True.
Honest, factual debate with these leftists isn’t possible.
They Are creating a situation where peaceful resolution if issues becomes harder and harder to accomplish.
He’s blinded by love…
The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects…”
Government practices that interfere with the people’s right to feel secure should be held to violate the Fourth Amendment.
That would include the Biden regime letting illegal criminals invade the country thereby interfering with that right to be secure by virtue of these criminal illegals murdering, raping, stealing IDs, and other felonious activities.
For the intellectually challenged, illegal alien squatters do not have constitutional rights. They have human rights.
His rights weren’t violated. He had due process & was ordered deported. Twice.
He was notified & also notified pre & post Jan 20 that this administration would be acting on those deportation orders. Then he was arrested & deported.
End of story. Now please go eff yourself, commie.
Can’t agree more!!
Another question in general. How many other people’s human rights do you have destroy by trafficking, violence, etc before your human rights become null and void?
Well said!
Let’s try this. Let’s put up a fifteen-foot fence topped with razor wire around this Senator’s home, and within that enclosure put up “tiny houses” and fill them with gang members. We’ll give each one of them a key to the house. And remove the police. Confine the Senator to his home within the enclosure for one month. And let’s see what he thinks about it afterwards – if he makes it that long . . .
Unfortunately it appears that the Senator is at least partially correct. I was born in Bermudan in 1948 on a U.S. AF Base. In 1962 when I turned 12 my parents took me to a federal building where I was photographed which was affixed to a document stating that I wished be a Citizen of the United States and not the United Kingdom, which I Signed the official signed and The Great Seal of the United States stamped (impressed) on it. Then I Was informed that when I turned 21 I would have to reaffirm my allegiance to the U.S. THEN President after scorning Winston Churchill for years tried to curry favor by making him a honorary United States Citizen. Soon after the Supreme Court began the dismantling of the Sovereignty of the United States by declaring dual citizenship was Constitutional. That was the first step soon followed stripping the Constitutional declaration that the right of foreign nationals was to be determined by the president and by treaties. The Supreme Court now creates law.
Either Van Hollen is an idiot (unlikely) or he thinks his voters are (absolutely likely) and CBS are both an idiot and their viewers are as well. So it’s basically a moron convention there.
The cartels told him to go to El Salvador. Quite a public display of treason for those with 2 eyes.
I ment age 14
But legal J6’rs don’t
And according to Van Hollen and other liberals all one need to do to get US constitutional protections is break into our country illegally.
I always wondered if legal visitors have the right to purchase guns during their stay in the US. Ignore for the moment the reality of our gun laws. Just limit the discussion in light of the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.
Good question. And I have no idea as to what the legal/Constitutional answer is.
This is Obamas 4 term.
90 days jack squat for our team.
So Putin and XI have US Constitutional rights if they were to illegally come to the US?
So if Hitler fled to the US vs Argentina, would he also have US Constitutional rights?
These people are completely nuts.
To be fair, the only Constitutional rights they believe US citizens have is the right to comply with their dictates.
So, since Van Hollen thinks non-US citizens have Constitutional rights, that would mean Europeans can start buying firearms and protesting their First Amendment rights being trampled by all those new censorship laws.
so funny!
They have hemmorrhaged so many of their voters that the blue hairs, cat ladies, indoctrinated college women and their betas just aren’t enough to cheat in elections with.
Bring on the people here illegally that have committed heinous crimes and give them rights. They will have to back down on those eventually. but will take the deal of keeping the regular illegals without criminal records and make them their champions and largest voting block.
Arresting government officials who committed crimes against Americans will change the tide and put an end to this nonsense.
Hopefully soon.
The guy was under deportation orders. I think we are a nation of laws. That also means ones you do not like.
If you want to know who a politician supports, see who he defends.
How can the voters in Maryland have decided in favor of this idiot. If he is representative of the New Democrat Party, then he is left leaning pundits are right, he is stupid scary.
I dislike equivocation.
like most states a FEW counties & 1 big city control the vote,they have the population.
Hopefully the Republicans will come with a good candidate who will work hard and seriously to replace this guy in the Senate.
This is what we get when Politicians no longer care about the election because they already know they will win. Then their hands are no longer tied and they can be who they always were, the Enemy Within.
How hard is it to comprehend that the “Alien Enemies Act” is the due process of law…
For that particular act of lawlessness…
“The law is good, if a man use it lawfully.”

This guy and his family are deep state spooks. They’re the ones who are killing the country.
Send this puke to Golgotha
It should be extra sinful to do this stuff on Easter.
One good thing about living in this area of the country up here is being able to hear them all openly talking about their feelings and what is on their minds.
Those of us here on the right certainly know well -and somewhat early on- where things are all going too.
Not that it makes it any better, but we’re not ever blindsided at least.. we hear the chatter.
We all know these Lefties don’t believe in borders, this is old news at this point.. so we’re seeing the crazy talk that comes from their delusional world views.
The other day on local talk radio, with a Leftie host, he was playing a few cuts from someone blabbering on about the need to protect the rights of everyone residing in America.
I heard that and knew just where this was going.
We’re now going to see them fight tooth and nail for anyone squatting on American soil to have everything that you and I have as American citizens- again this is not new but it’s been happening quietly you could say.
They are going to come right out with it now and go BIG and LOUD with it.
My question right now is seriously, at this point what is even the value of our own citizenship?
I often think of all the people waiting in line, paying the money and doing what they are supposed to be doing to gain citizenship here, I know it can cost a fortune and take years- and I feel so bad for them as they witness what is happening now here.
They are absolutely doing the right thing, but there is no doubt they see what is being handed to all these illegal aliens that came here illegally and they’ve got to wonder if in fact they are doing the right thing, they must sometimes wonder if they are even right in even wanting to come here.
The Left, supported by the pathetic losers we’ve elected in the Republican do nothing party have truly destroyed so much of what was our greatest gift of America.
Just what we need..
Activist supremes (small s) throwing gasoline on the fire.
The traitors are emboldened. The chances of peaceful resolution just diminished somewhat.
How many politicians actually know the Constitution ?
Just like when two illegals give birth to a child in this country they are of the jurisdiction of the parents and that child is of the jurisdiction of the parents.
Non U.S. citizens do not have constitutional rights when it is considered a terrorist organization invading this country.
If Chris knows what Constitutional rights they have please reveal them.
I still think there is something here be it DS or IC or politicians have some connections to TDA because no other group of invaders has gotten this kind of protection from politicians or the whole U.S. judicial system including the not so Supreme Court.
WTF
Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America
Then they have Constitutional Rights along with the rest of us – not before.
That’s what they want that illegals are automatically American citizens just because they sneaked in here illegally. The majority of the Supreme Court sadly agrees with them.
Is he afraid of the gangs or is he on the payroll?
Or is it rigged elections?
And apparently our Supreme Court agrees. What a s show.
The Americans rounded up on J6 were not granted their Constitutional rights from a “Fedsurrection”.
Top shelf work from Treeper Regitiger & Sundance. I called a few congressional House members directing them to this article. Any who want to do this just tell them to go to the conservative treehouse website and input “fedsurrection” into the search window.
Use your own version of what Treeper Snellville Bob said “Pelosi,Schumer,McCarthy, & McConnell created the crisis (J6) so they could work under emergency rules to avoid procedures that allowed dissent.” To catch their interest and as to why the congressional aid should read the article. If you want to do something to redpill congressional aides or any other people/media/local government etc etc this is a great step.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/?s=fedsurrection
Still do NOT understand why or how Epps only go off with a hand slap after what they did to other J6 people.
Does the name “Judge Boasberg” ring a bell? THAT’s why.
What a maroon.
If non citizens have constitutional rights all our immigration laws would be null and void. Even wacko liberal judges haven’t sent that far yet.
the look on his face says ‘they made me do it’
Seeing Van Hole-in-the-Head in action & especially whenever this stupid POS opens his mouth, I am reminded of the word of the late Mort Saul.
I’ll adapt Mort’s statement to Sen Van Hole-in-the-Head.
When you see Senator Hold-in-the-Head in action, what can we conclude?
Darwin was wrong!!
This Senatorial POS as far as I know, has yet to bother to reach out & speak with his constituents’ families who have lost loved ones to these illegal animals.
Instead, he almost gleefully has his hand out taking taxpayer money, OUR MONEY damnit, so he can fund his fantasy & travel to visit this piece of human excrement.
Yeah Senator Van Hole-in-the-Head, you are right, illegal aliens have about as much Constitutional rights as YOU having as much chance as winning re-election!!
Instead, methinks this traitorous Senator has punched his 1-way ticket to GITMO!!
Democrats and government have had no problem stomping on our constitutional rights for decades,
They can all go to hell
That’s exactly where they are headed.
They will…
And Republican’ts, without whom the Demonocrats would be a permanent minority party, with little power to effect policy.
As you know the R’s are just as traitorous.
Thus even MORE despicable!
They will
As someone said elsewhere —the crossed the border illegally without due process, so why do they get or want it now.
And a lot of them dumped their ID’s on the Mexican side of the border..making themselves ghosts in our country.
See below reply to spinoneone who for some reason made an assumption that “We generally agree that anyone physically present in the U.S. is “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
What I can’t wrap my head around is that J6 prisoners had no due process, yet as far as I know they were all legal American citizens!
Something very wrong with this whole picture!
Ran across the due process comment again. The guy who made that due process comment was David Harass Jr., which i do believe many might know.
