the constitution applies to citizens, you have no argument here
I may have no argument based on how Trump's stance currently sits, but he backed down to exceptions for citizens after he initially suggested a much more loose policy with no explanation. I feel this was due to the public backlash, as it fits Trump's general pattern of making outlandish statements then backtracking to a slightly less unpopular place. As i said before this doesn't comfort me, if he flip flops back to a softer position he can flip back to the harsher position at any time. I do not trust the timeline of his statements either, all statements hes made must be taken equally seriously and new statements don't discredit old ones based on how hard he's flip flopped.

libel is a crime, do you feel it shouldn't be? that's another discussion to be had.
Im talking about him making cases that are currently handled in civil suits criminal matters, essentially broadening the definition if libel to criminalize aspects of free speach that are currently not criminalized. I feel this is a direct shot at the first amendment.

I want you to back up your argument that Donald Trump plans to " selective surveillance in both Hispanic and Muslim communities that violate that same 14th amendment. "
No. As i said im not digging through piles of quotes, the keywords hurt my brain just thinking of what to search for. if you want to have this feel free to chalk it up to a win.
