They are not U.S. citizens, therefore, they are not entitled to due process.

This is going to invariably fall on the taxpayers, which is another, albiet, more minor transgression.

Keep them detained until our intelligence agencies can extract all the information they can out of them.

As for their health, welfare, etc, I could care less. They are savages and a threat to our national safety.
