16 Illegals Sue Arizona rancher

[PhiGam]

Why in the hell are they permitted to use U.S. federal courts? They were committing multiple criminal acts and this man was defending his property. They are going to lose but only after wasting taxpayer money on a trial.
We really need to build a damn wall.

Seriously. Do any GC lawyers understand this...and if so, can you help me understand this?

Certain rights are guaranteed to everyone, regardless of citizenship - for instance, you can't just murder a person of non-American citizenship.

The way to bring remedy for something that happened on US soil is in US court - it's the same reason a foreign company can sue a US company in US courts.

Whether the claim has merit is up to a jury.

My husband went to the Social Security office.

In 10 - 14 days he will no longer be undocumented.

Undocumented migrant is the ultra PC term used, I prefer to use the term illegal, since it makes the most sense. It is illegal to cross the border at places other than ports of entry,which they do , and they are aliens so.....illegal aliens. Everyone has civil rights in the U.S., whether you're a citizen or not it doesn't matter. I also wouldn't be surprised if the Mexican Government is aiding/assisting these 16 on their lawsuit against this rancher, they love lawsuits against the U.S. by illegals. Its unfortunate that this is happening to this certain rancher, who has a history of stopping crossings in his area. Lawsuit is probably an attempt to intimidate him and other landowners.

I agree.
