If you're not a citizen, you still are supposed to get due process. If illegally in the country that due process could be short and other rights won't matter as all the government has to do is prove your in the country illegally and not much you can do as something like pleading the 5th won't make any difference.
If in the country legally, due process becomes more important and legally the government has to prove you shouldn't be in the country for such and such reason.

you as a citizen of the United States have a constitutional right under the 5th amendment,

What difference does citizenship make? I continuously see Americans claim rights only apply to citizens, which is fucking weird.
I looked up the 5th Amendment just in case it mentioned citizens. To quote,

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Second word, "person". Has someone bought some RV's for your Supreme Court Justices and they ruled only American citizens are people?

While you're correct about the most brazen shoplifters. Which the stores have responded to by making it hard to go out the in door etc.
There is also the casual shoplifters who cheat the self scanners in various ways such as entering a code for a cheaper good and even as someone was telling me the other day, leaving a big expensive bag of dog food in the bottom of the cart and often having the cashier not notice and therefore not charge for the goods. This one is quite safe as you can claim forgetfulness.

Yes, most of your points are good though lots of houses use gas ranges (propane here) instead of electric ranges, my home could barely support a small air conditioner. Laws are changing as a link in your source shows, https://www.cbc.ca/radio/whato... it was New Westminster I was thinking of here.

If you can deliver the power. I'm on the west coast of Canada, somewhere that previously never needed air conditioning but does now. Many an apartment buildings wiring can't handle AC. These are 30+ year old buildings with really crappy air flow too. Europe has much older buildings. We're also dependent on hydro for power, which is working like crap with the droughts, Europe has nuclear that also works like crap due to drought though at least they have solar.

Why the fuck are you counting things like flu deaths as deaths from the cold. Compare those who freeze to death with those who die of heat stroke and similar. Way more people die directly from heat then die directly from cold.
Fucking statistics, you can twist anything around to what you want but it's still BS.
