How can she justify that citizenship is the differentiator between what's right and wrong?

AIUI (not an American) that's a dividing line for a lot of US law relating to intelligence agency activities. More observation than explanation, but to some people what's legal and what's ethical is very tightly coupled.

It's not only citizenship but distance. People are very upset about what's happening at the Mexican border, but pay almost no heed to actual civilian deaths caused by US policy in Syria and Yemen.
