MODERATORS
Everything is bigger in Texas, even the concentration camps.
Have no doubt they'll use the thirteenth amendment to use them as slaves.
They won't. It will defeat their case if they do:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
They are arguing that immigrants are not "subject to the laws of the United States", which basically means they can be treated as enemy combatants or POWs.
But they can't be prosecuted for crimes, let alone convicted.
It doesn't seem that Dawn Buckingham got the memo, but these facilities can't be for "violent criminal deportation", as "violent criminals" are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
These facilities have to be for "repatriating captured enemy combatants to their nation of origin".
Conviction is the easy part.
No they'll argue they're subject to the laws but not the protection under law as there's already precedent for that. I think people forgot how industrialized we've made racism, this is just making back on ole reliable.
14th amendment:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
If they make the argument you just made, they kill their argument against birthright citizenship.
Jurisdiction can mean power over it doesn't actually imply protection from, we have other amendments for that. They'll argue some limited wording in the constitution and the 4th, 13th, and 14th amendments allows for illegals to not fall under the umbrella of constitutional protections.
It's a bad argument sure, but they don't generally have good arguments they just have 98% of government under their control and a rabid fan base. While it shouldn't be a winning argument it probably will be in this regime.
Fuck this Nazi cunt.
It's too bad that land couldn't possibly be used for anything else
Classy.
