Constitutional Rights and Due Process

The discussion centers around Mayor Eric Adams' controversial assertion that undocumented New Yorkers are not entitled to the same constitutional rights as citizens. He emphasized that the Constitution is designed for Americans, which raises questions about the rights of undocumented individuals, particularly those charged with crimes. This stance seems contradictory given his history of engaging with the immigrant community in New York City and the implications for due process in legal proceedings. Critics point out the irony of his comments in light of his own legal challenges, where he has insisted on his right to due process.
