No Rights?

"Where do you get off demanding services, rights and mandatory citizenship?" said Manassas resident Robert Stephens. "Who invited you? You cry for your rights? You have none."

This is from an AP wire article about Prince William County, Va's (where I live) unanimous vote to deny county services to illegal aliens.

A disturbing trend on the political right is appearing. George Bush and neoconservatives believe that foreign citizens have fewer rights than Americans. A foreigner has no right to the same due process, apparently. See Gitmo.

Does the pursuit of justice, due process, limited government, liberty, and "love thy neighbor as thyself" end at the border?

I hope not.
