Friendly reminder, that Obama assassinated an American citizen in drone strike.

Anwar Nasser Abdulla al-Awlaki (Arabic: أنور العولقي, romanized: Anwar al-'Awlaqī; April 21, 1971 – September 30, 2011) was an **American-Yemeni **Islamic cleric and lecturer assassinated in Yemen in 2011 by a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Barack Obama. Al-Awlaki was the first U.S. citizen to be targeted and assassinated by a U.S. government drone strike.[6][7] U.S. government officials alleged that al-Awlaki, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen, was a key organizer for the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, however if everyone is saying illegal immigrants deserve due process that same standard as to be applied to terrorists. If that same standard isn't to everyone; people don't have rights, they have privileges.

Don't forget the official response being he "should have had a better father"
