No, due process is for any action the government takes against an individual, not just a citizen and not just criminal activity.Lol, yeah, hardly a surprise that you have no response because you didn't know how immigration works.
Of course they have record of who's here legally, the whole point of pretending you need 20 million "trials" to find out if someone's here illegally is that it isn't possible, which means anybody in the world who comes here just gets to stay.
Obviously "due process" doesn't mean you need a trial to take illegal residency away from noncitizens who never had a right to it in the first place. Due process is for taking away your natural rights of life, liberty and property, ie a criminal trial before executing you or sentencing you to federal prison, not taking away the imaginary "right" of foreign nationals to squat here, which of course they specifically don't have a right to.
The constitution gives congress the power to set immigration standards, and the executive to carry them out, and the immigration agencies generally do give hearings t order deportation, but it's not required, and immigration officials can also order expedited removal with no hearing.
If you are a citizen and get deported, then you can sue the government and that could have a trial, but even that probably wouldn't and would be settled without trial.
Any time the government is going to act against an individual, the government has to follow due process to show that the government is not acting arbitrarily. It is a restriction on the government, not something that we get. When people sue for breach of due process, it's a lawsuit stating that the government isn't following rules to ensure that the government acts fairly.
It's mind-blowing that people don't understand this.
The reason due process applies to deportation is because deportation is a government action. The government is choosing to do something to individuals. It doesn't matter who the individuals are, once the government is deciding to act against an individual, the government must do so in a fair way.
And a cornerstone of due process is that the individual has the right to respond to the government and be heard before the government acts against the individual. Again, this to ensure that the government follows rules -- the whole "nation of laws" thing.
So, if the government is acting against an individual, that individual is entitled to know why and be given the opportunity to defend themselves from that action. Not because we're giving individuals due process but because we are restricting arbitrary government action.
And every time people argue that X and Y groups of people don't deserve due process they're showcasing that they don't really understand why due process exists in the 1st place.
