Due process is the quiet oath beneath our flag—promising liberty with fairness, not force. It’s the shield of the powerless, the restraint of the powerful, and the soul of a nation that dares to say: justice must serve all, or it serves none at all.

Exactly right and i was pleased when people booed the representative who said that immigrants don’t get due process. These people need to take the citizenship test that immigrants who speak another language take. Stupid as Hell, Everyone is entitled to due process under our constitution

Holy shit, I had no idea you actually experienced those atrocious "internment camps". I was in high school when I learned about them -- as an American-born half-Japanese girl. I am so sorry you and your family experienced that, Takei-san. I can't believe America is doing it again.

Let's just send people who are thoroughly vetted and admitted legally into the U.S. on a grant of verified asylum straight to spend life in a violent prison in a foreign country that we pay. That seems fair.

I have documentation that I belong in Canada, and all of those documents can be nullified with 4 words. "Those papers are fake." How am I going to prove it when they are the original document holders responsible for verification? They've got the cards. I don't even know how to find the pack.

Before they rounded up Japanese Americans, it was my people that they rounded up for mass extermination, likening us to "cockroaches." Because you know, savages and all. They're coming for us all, my country included.

USA has a history of treating "illegals" (in their mind) for so long. And I don't need to count em, we were taught about it in school (am Swedish), Hope Americans was as well -& still are being taught about it. What they did to you Mr Takei, and your family. I can only say- it was despicable.

Unfortunately what little controversial history the Americans were taught was cancelled by the right wing (on the grounds that some white kids feelings would be hurt - the reality was that the parents complained about it because THEY were the ones whose feelings were hurt...)

Due process is how you find out if someone is here illegally, and what if any other factors are at work. IE what's actually going on. Without that these federal raids and deportations are simply government endorsed terrorism based on race & nationality.

As a Canadian, confirmed. We begin learning about our shitty past (residential schools, war crimes) in grade 2. Makes *most* of us not want to go back there. Especially those of us who come from the legacy of the residential schools. Those stories live in our heads rent-free.

As Mr. Takei points out, you don’t have to be illegal to be denied due process. History is repeating itself! AND we need to Demand PROOF IF LIFE for every person that has disappeared. Existing is not a deportable crime. #ProofOfLife #AndryHernandezRamirez #NeryAlvaradoBorges

Interviewed 18 families that were interned for my MA thesis at UVa ‘91-2 & the multigenerational stories I was exposed to from varying perspectives was absolutely horrifying.

True, the thing is, if they WERE here legally, or CITIZENS, they have a chance to prove it. A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT! Even if they're NOT LEGAL! And then fine, deport away! Sending somebody to a different country's prison,orher than the one they came from isn't deportation. It's human trafficking.

I've always found the Japanese American internment atrocity less about "looked like the enemy" and more just straight-up white supremacy. My family, all of German descent, looked like the enemy too, but no one interred them.

The shocking thing about the “confirming” point is that THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO CHALLENGE ANY EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM AND PRESENT THEIR OWN EVIDENCE. The “deport them now!” folks don’t like the idea that (a) they might be wrong and (b) someone gets to call them on their bullshit.
