Fourteenth amendment’s equal protection clause says “no person shall be denied equal protection”, not “no citizen”
the same distinction is made in the fifth, “no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without the due process of law”
The constitution is actually quite clear.
Edit to clarify: the SCROTUS is definitely going to come up with some reason to explain why words do not mean what they mean, but both trump’s actions and siding with him like that are in fact impeachable.
it’s definitely illegal.
For now anyway.
If I recall the only reason US rights apply to non-us citizens is a supreme court ruling. Scary to think about those implications
Probably breaks some international law too
