This doesn't apply to ILLEGAL ALIENS, only to legal residents and citizens. People who are here illegally have no rights under the law. Spin all you want, the constitution is not for illegals, the constitution also gives each state the right to determine who is a legal resident or citizen within their state. Don't take one article out of context and try to justify illegal aliens being here and having rights. The only right they have is the right to be deported, and the sooner the better.

I think that the 13th Amendment is also probably relevant:

Amendment XIII

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

The federal government isn't a State.
