The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday let a Republican-backed Texas law take effect allowing state law enforcement authorities to arrest people suspected of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, rejecting a request by President Joe Biden’s administration.
The court has a 6-3 conservative majority, and its three liberal justices dissented on Tuesday. The administration had asked the justices to freeze a judicial order allowing the Texas law to take effect while its challenge to the statute proceeds in the lower courts.
The law violates the U.S. Constitution and federal law by interfering with the U.S. government’s power to regulate immigration, the administration has argued.
Hang on, hang on, I think you missed it. It applies to “ALL PERSONS.” You’ll note that it does not include “unless you’re an illegal immigrant.”

You’re just wrong here. And that’s okay, but take an opportunity to learn. Although many are deported without knowing there was a hearing, there still is what is taken to mean due process. See https://www.uclalawreview.org/the-ice-trap-deportation-without-due-process/
The fact is, you can just actually take a look at the 14th amendment. Or try to find the term citizen in any of the first 10. Or just keep being confidently incorrect.
The constitution absolutely does protect all people in many situations, and only xenophobia combined with poor education can lead somebody to disputing that.
