[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed. I don't see the Constitution giving criminal illegal immigrants the right to representation. That's a right given to citizens. [/quote]

How do you know they are illegal if they aren't given a fair hearing?

BTW, here is the 6th amendment to the US constitution
[i]
Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.[/i]

It says the accused. Nowhere does it mention citizenship. If there is any rationale for denying this right in an immigration proceeding, it is the argument that such proceeding is NOT a criminal prosecution, but a civil matter.

But that would seem to contradict the idea that all illegal immigrants are ipso facto criminals.[/quote]
