the word citizen or immigrant appears in the Bill of Rights? If it doesn't maybe you should think before you act like a fascist.

On the issue of fascism, let me clarify. In its movement phase I think of it as a form of palengenetic ultranationalist populism. A drive to remake society in a manner at odds with process of liberal democracy and in lines with often racialized forms of nationalism. Clearly, when you look at anti-immigrant groups like FAIR, the California Coalition for Immigration Control, and the like, they endorse various forms of white nationalism and, in calling for the repeal of parts of the 14th Amendment, following in a long line of organizations dating back to the post-Reconstruction Ku Klux Klan. Many of the response here and to my other question also evidence racialized ways of thinking. And, I find also fascistic the calls for mass deportation -- without one of you stopping to articulate what this means in terms of due process rights and property rights embodied in the Bill of Rights. Again, what in the Bill of Rights indicates that it only applies to citizens?

For those attacking my character without addressing the substance of my question, does your resort to ad hominem attack simply indicate the weakness of your own argument?
