Except, our constitution, written by the hallowed founders, doesn't support you. That's why, in these questions, it refers to 'person', not 'citizen'. 14th Amendment due process rights No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; *nor shall any state deprive any person* of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws**.

My point is that someone here illegally is not the same as someone here lawfully. Indeed. But each is entitled to due process, which is not remotely the same thing as being treated the same. Immigrants who invest hundreds of thousands of USD buying a business in the US and hiring 5 or more Americans to get a Green card after many years in accordance with US laws should not be treated the same as someone breaking US laws by being here. The former, who presumably have not done anything illegal, have no need for due process. If they did, they would get whatever due process applied to whatever their crimes, not for the crime of illegal entry.
