It's more legal because they're not US citizens. There's no normative logic to it.

I humbly suggest that that law has lost it's moral compass and needs to be addressed.

Once you reject the principle that "all people are created equally human", then you run the risk of being on the "wrong side", and treated in a sub-human manner.

Did the law ever have a moral compass like you suggest? We had slaves for 80+ years after the Constitution was written.
