I am continually surprised

that RWNJs don't know that the Bill of Rights apply to all people on U.S. soil, not just citizens. Now some, of course, are just trying to mislead their fellows to support their agendas, but I run into those that actually believe that it's the "truth". Hard to run a country well when people don't know the basics. Should we deport them? You and I know it would be unconstitutional, but THEY wouldn't.

I have met people who are not right wingers at all and did not know that the constitution applies to anybody on us soil. After all, thats why its called the "law of the land", not the law for citizens.

It seems pretty obvious they don't know.
