Thank you! I am just not sure that the US Constitution protects non-citizens. It has been distorted by political winds since Lincoln and I do not have a handle on the current legal position as it relates to non-citizens.

Things get murky when international laws get thrown into the blender.

The Constitution by principle protects inalienable rights, such a self-defense. Every human being, by nature of being human has natural rights. Therefore . . . you finish the syllogism. I willing to bet you can.

The Bill of Rights constantly references "people", "the people", and "persons". Unless one is willing to believe that the Framers considered non-citizens to be non-persons, they meant to include them.
