Riiight... so because they're not Americans, they're not entitled to the same rights as Americans.
Why didn't I think of that.  |
I'm pretty sure foriegners especially the ones here illegally do not have the same civil liberities guarunteed to them by my government as a citizen of that government. Anyways Chojin is a citizen so I'm merely poiting out 'we' as in citizens so far havn't had our civil liberties stripped away or atleast from what I can tell.
Different people are entitled different rights. In America if your under the age of 18 you are not guarunteed the right to vote. Foriegners are also not guarunteed this right. Isn't voting a civil liberty?
