   Tell that to the thousands who were arrested without charge and without access   
   to legal system even though they were american citizens (including some born   
   in the USA), just because they were of  arab origin.   
      
   A country's police and legal system should work the same for every human   
   inside that country. Your constitution does not need to give visitors free   
   healtcare or education, but it should afford them the same legal rights.
