DUE PROCESS is for U.S. Citizens: Why 14A Uses 'people' & 'person' instead of Repeatively Using 'citizens '
And yes, we are saying Chief Justice got it wrong
Seems the left is turning up the heat about DUE PROCESS because we have advocate judges and an advocate Chief Justice.
First, Citizen, person, and people are a current-day misread of our 14th Amendment, clearly stated in the first phrase, 'citizens'. The writing style then did not require being repetitious with the word 'citizen', so 'person' and 'people' are used for the balance of the amendment.
Always interpret the Constitution as it was written, NOT as you understand it.
The civics and government classes that the Department of Education foolishly removed from all U.S. schools covered this quite often.
Second, actions of previous Presidents dictate what a current President can do...
Under Barack Obama, more than 3 million individuals were formally removed from the United States during Obama's presidency (2009-2016). Approximately 74% of these removals were through expedited processes, meaning most did not see a judge or have a chance to plead their case.
Under Bill Clinton, millions were deported during Clinton's presidency without judicial oversight, but exact figures are not specified in the context.
U.S. Code - Deportation
The U.S. Code provides detailed regulations on deportation, including the conditions under which an alien can be deported.
According to 8 U.S.C. § 1251, an alien can be deemed deportable under various circumstances, such as being found inadmissible or deportable under specific sections of the code.
Additionally, under 8 U.S.C. § 1231, during the removal period, the Attorney General is required to detain an alien who has been found inadmissible under section 1182(a)(2) or 1182(a)(3)(B) of the code or deportable under section 1227(a)(2).
The process of deportation can also involve "expedited removal," which is a quicker process for removing certain aliens from the United States.
For more specific details on deportation, including the immediate deportation of aliens excluded or removed from the United States, refer to 8 U.S.C. § 1227.

“Illegal Entry”/8 U.S.C. § 1325 makes it a crime to unlawfully enter the United States. It applies to people who do not enter with proper inspection at a port of entry, such as those who enter between ports of entry, avoid examination or inspection, or who make false statements while entering or attempting to enter. A first offense is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine, up to six months in prison, or both.
“Illegal Re-Entry”/8 U.S.C. § 1326 makes it a crime to unlawfully reenter, attempt to unlawfully reenter, or to be found in the United States after having been deported, ordered removed, or denied admission. This crime is punishable as a felony with a maximum sentence of two years in prison. Higher penalties apply if the person was previously removed after having been convicted of certain crimes: up to 10 years for a single felony conviction (other than an aggravated felony conviction) or three misdemeanor convictions involving drugs or crimes against a person, and up to 20 years for an aggravated felony conviction.
These regulations are part of a broader set of laws that govern immigration and nationality in the United States.
