The Fifth Amendment Does Not Apply To Non US Citizens!

It is the view of the Federal administration, (especially that of George W. Bush), and is still being used currently. That any foreigner who enters the USA illegally, does not qualify under the fifth amendment, for habeas corpus. Therefore, they can be arrested, thrown in prison, (especially law offenders) for very lengthy periods of time, without due process, or consultation with an attorney.

And held therein, until the Federal Immigration Administration repatriates them to their country of origin. Those whose country of origin cannot be determined, will be held in prison indefinitely!

Is this justice? I say it depends on who you ask here in the USA!

However, it is expected under International Law, that any illegal should be allowed to consult with an attorney before he/she is brought before a court of justice.

Because this is the civilized thing to do, and is in keeping with the Geneva Conventions as it pertains to Human and Civil Rights.
