(NEA President) Lily Eskelsen García: Dream Act of 2017 lives up to our core American values
Bipartisan bill would protect and allow Dreamers to continue to contribute to our country

Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) today introduced the Dream Act of 2017, legislation aimed at granting legal status and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. The bipartisan legislation would also provide a long-term legislative solution for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program recipients and Dreamers....

CBC: Olympic Stadium opened to temporarily house 'intense' surge of asylum seekers from U.S.

Due to a surge of asylum seekers coming from the United States to Quebec, a temporary welcome centre has been opened at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal.

Is that including non-Americans?

More seriously:

Secretary Kelly's Statement on the Limited Extension of Haiti's Designation for Temporary Protected Status

The extension expires in November January and I'm pretty sure that there are many more Haitian refugees here than Muslim ones....

Your link:

In May, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to withdraw the protective status of Haitians who took refuge in the country following the 2010 earthquake.

Up to 58,000 people could face deportation back to Haiti in January 2018.

Dupuis said Montreal's large Haitian community is a reason why many Haitians are crossing the border into Quebec.

"Obviously, there is a stronger attraction to coming to Quebec for Haitians than in other provinces," she said.

"They have the help of their community to get settled."

A spokesperson for the Maison d'Haiti, a hub for the Haitian community in Montreal, said they've been hearing from families living in the U.S. hoping to come to Canada.

"They are afraid of what is going to happen to them," said Marjorie Villefranche, director general of the Maison d'Haiti.

In the last three weeks especially, a larger number of Haitians have been crossing the border asking for refugee statusm she said. Villefranche said the Maison d'Haiti helps asylum seekers fill out paperwork to be able to stay in Canada.

She said word of how to cross into Canada has spread quickly on Haitian social networks, encouraging more people to come to Quebec....

I guess they're getting ahead of the game, beating the winter, anticipating a rush later, doing it while the kids are out of a school, whatever.

Trump’s immigration cutbacks would hurt the economy

"education, the ability to speak English and demonstrated accomplishments as a worker or business owner"
LOL, most Trumpettes don't meet that criteria.

Tell Congress: Oppose the RAISE Act

Republican Senators David Perdue and Tom Cotton have introduced legislation that viciously attacks our family-based legal immigration system. Backed by President Trump, the RAISE Act aims to cut legal immigration of extended family members by half – in addition to slashing the number of refugees we accept and eliminating the diversity visa lottery.

This is an extremist proposal that would prevent families from reuniting and go against our nation’s core values. Stand with NILC and urge Congress to vote against the RAISE Act.

NPR: U.S. Citizen Who Was Held By ICE For 3 Years Denied Compensation By Appeals Court

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) imprisoned an American citizen for over 3 years as a deportable alien then dumped him without explanation in Alabama, leaving him with no means to get home to New York.

There is no right to a court-appointed attorney in immigration court, but he kept repeating his status to anyone who would listen.

Last year a district judge awarded him $82,500 in damages. On Monday an appeals court ruled that he's is not eligible for any of that money, because the statute of limitations expired while he was still in ICE custody without a lawyer.

Support the DREAM Act

To my members of Congress:

Support the bipartisan 2017 Dream Act. Young people who came to the United States as children deserve to live and work in the country they call home without fear of deportation. Their lives and dreams are too valuable and important to be so readily dismissed by this administration.

NYMag: Trump Pondering Pardon for Racial Profiler Joe Arpaio

“I am seriously considering a pardon for Sheriff Arpaio,” the president said Sunday, during a conversation with Fox News at his club in Bedminster, N.J. “He has done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration. He’s a great American patriot and I hate to see what has happened to him.”

Racist birther conmen stick together.

Stop Trump from pardoning Joe Arpaio (petition)

[Oliver!]

Federal prosecutors secured a criminal contempt conviction against Arpaio after it was proven his office profiled and illegally detained Latinos, violating their constitutional rights.

Do undocumented aliens have constitutional rights?

Do undocumented aliens have constitutional rights?

I thought he was in trouble for profiling, not violating their rights?

To answer your question though, I think the answer is "it's complicated". https://www.forbes.com/sites/danielfish ... 18a50b4f1d

FTA:

In U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, an 1898 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the term “person” under the Fifth Amendment applied to aliens living in the U.S. In Fong Yue Ting v. U.S.,the court held that Chinese laborers, “like all other aliens residing in the United States,” are entitled to protection of the laws.

[O Really]

It wasn't the undocumented aliens whose rights were violated. It was the rights of legal Hispanics that he trampled on in the hopes of finding an illegal.
As to the direct answer to the question, however... Yes.

So, the real question that was asked here is, 'Do brown people have constitutional rights?'
