Welcome to the United States - Now Get the Fuck Out

The New York Times is reporting that Department of Homeland Security is going to give Border Patrol Agents the authority to unilaterally deport illegal aliens they capture within 100 miles of the Mexican and Canadian borders. No due process, no judicial review, no immigration judges, no lawyers. Just pure, unbridled border justice. Not to worry, those of the Hispanic or Canuck persuasion who live near the border and might fear an overzealous BPA - the agents will supposedly be focusing on aliens from "other countries." Does anybody in the administration think this will pass constitutional muster?
