If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Fun fact: my dad survived pancreatic cancer. It was detected very early bc he was already getting regular scans… bc he previously had kidney cancer. For most ppl with pancreatic cancer, it’s not detected until too late

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

Hard to explain how many profitable technological “solutions” are just tools that displace labor from the vendor onto the consumer.
