What About Our Due Process?

  • Saturday, May 3, 2025

So much concern is being expressed over the alleged lack of due process for people who, being removed from our soil, somehow were able to slide by the due process required to enter our country legally in the first place. This is not a new phenomenon, however, as many Americans focus their priorities of concern on matters abroad or, at the least, overextend their attention to foreign shores.

Yet, ironically, many or most of the same Americans are willing to give up their own due process when simply applying for a job. Within the matrix of the process, which must be completed online, not only does one have to surrender personal data and autonomy over that data, but one must also surrender the right to a trial by jury should legal trouble arise during employment. This agreement must be finalized even before applying ,even for the most mundane jobs.

All one needs to do is actually read what is required to be checked off as an agreement during the application process. Then, one might need to obtain a law degree to understand it, all just to work and earn money. Yet, silence prevails, while empathy is thrown toward employers and the "free market."

Until elected representatives acknowledge this, we, the citizenry, are the ones being deprived of our due process.
