If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This wasn't about security. It was a warning. To stay silent, because nobody is untouchable.
Treat it as a warning, that IF we stay silent, then NOBODY is safe!
