ACLU Says Trumps Deportation Plans "Violate Several Constitutional Principles"

>Donald Trump’s plans to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants in a way that’s “very humane” and “very nice” would be more accurately described as very unconstitutional, according to an analysis by the American Civil Liberties Union.
>A group of 12 ACLU lawyers studied Trump’s immigration proposal and found his plans for a two-year mass deportation would be in violation of the fourth, fifth and fourteenth amendments of the Constitution.
>“Since immigration agents would inevitably resort to racial and ethnic profiling to carry out their orders, they would violate Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment guarantees of equal protection under the law,” reads the ACLU’s analysis of Trump’s immigration plan.
>“By our analysis there is no conceivable mechanism to make this round-up possible without violating the civil liberties of Americans and immigrants,” said ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero, during a press call ahead of the report’s release Thursday night.
>Romero said Donald Trump’s “deportation scheme” would also violate the Fourth Amendment prohibition “against unreasonable searches and seizures.” He said a mass roundup on that scale would inevitably lead to tactics such as suspicionless interrogation and arrests, warrantless searches of workplaces or homes, unjustified traffic stops, and door-to-door raids in immigrant neighborhoods.
Wew lads. i guess since we already give them free (see; funded by legal working Americans) healthcare, tuition, housing, etc. now it's time to just go ahead and grant Constitutional rights to people who have never respected the Constitution in the first place.
Liberal mental gymnastics amaze me.
