"There are 15 million illegal aliens," Miller said adding that "if each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries"

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said in a video that went viral on Friday that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process protections when being removed from the United States, arguing that providing full legal proceedings would make deportations unworkable.

"There are 15 million illegal aliens," Miller said. "If each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries. They had no due process entering the country, and they are not entitled to it when being removed."

Supreme Court precedent has long held that constitutional protections apply to noncitizens within U.S. territory. In Wong Wing v. United States (1896), the Court ruled that the Fifth Amendment's due process clause protects noncitizens from arbitrary detention or punishment.

You didn't have due process to be born Stephen, so you don't deserve it when we put your neck in a guillotine.

    I'd prefer slowly lowering him into a wood chipper, feet first. After we feed him a ton of adrenaline so he can't pass out.

    Vivisection is what he deserves. Then we may actually find out what the fuck is wrong with him before he dies in terror.

    Watch Nuremberg. The doctor played my Ramek was a fucking fortune teller. Really scary shit when you read up on his research and his thoughts on Nazis, which seem to be pretty accurate nearly 100 years later.

    That means they can remove anyone without due process...

    They could say literally anyone didn't come in the country legally, and "due process" is where people can prove they should be here

    This is the same as when people would drown women, and if died she wasn't a witch so everyone would celebrate even tho they just killed an innocent.

    No regard for false positives.

    Due process isn't something you "deserve". You are entitled to it, regardless of any circumstance. The process is due to you. It is your unalienable right.

    Been law governing statesia (then part of England) since 1354. And I quote:

    No man of what state or condition he be, shall be put out of his lands or tenements nor taken, nor disinherited, nor put to death, without he be brought to answer by due process of law.

    You need due process to even know if they are illegal aliens. They just want to deport people without checking.

    This guy basically just said he doesn't care what the constitution says, he's going to do whatever he wants anyway.

    I sure wish the idiots on the right would get riled up over literally anything besides the 2nd amendment.

    I'm sick of people trying to gaslight us into thinking ICE is only going after illegal immigrants and that they just want people to follow legal processes to come in. They're arresting people at courthouses, in the midst of following the legal process to immigrate

    They're also arresting Americans and then claiming afterwards that their birth certificates are fake.

    And people need to get this through their heads: If illegal immigrants have no right to due process, then NOBODY has the right to due process, because how are you going to prove you're a citizen without due process?

    Openly admitting to violating the civil rights of millions will come in handy for those of us who will hold you accountable.

    Can't stress this enough, but Stephen Miller is one of the shittiest humans alive. Has all the earmarks of an asshole young man who was shunned by all women, and he's out for his revenge. What a twat.

    Yes, and you didn't have due process when you turned left without signaling, so now you don't get to go to a judge and say the cop was lying.

    It all makes so much sense now!

    Dumbass.

    Actually, a lot of them being kicked out now are being pulled from their court dates, so they are following due process.

    This scumbag should die in a jail cell.

    Oh geez, using that logic, no criminal used due process to murder, rape, steal, so they can't be charged.

    Stephen Miller is truly the Chief of Staff we deserve.

    I want him to be publicly executed. Ideally by due process but I'm increasingly ok with by mob

    Stephen Miller is an undocumented immigrant. He now has to prove the contrary without due process.

    Right. Except the criteria Mr. Nazi over there has is “…because I say they were undocumented”.

    The rights in the Constitution apply (in the words of the Constitution) to "all persons," not "all persons that Pee Wee Goebbels approves of."

    Steven Miller is a Goebbels wannabe and one of my most sincere wishes is that I live long enough to see that he's dead.
