Supremes: Bail for Illegals Not a Right

The Washington Times reports the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled 5-3 that illegal aliens have no automatic right to bail while awaiting deportation. In so ruling, the Court overruled the leftwing 9th Circuit Court of Appeals which claimed to have found such a right to exist.

The idea that criminals lose the right of freedom is not a new one in American jurisprudence, and illegal aliens are prima facie criminals and flight risks.
