US Constitution Non-Citizen Rights

Interestingly, even US citizens aren't exempted from this. Constitutional rights seemingly don't apply at the border.

The argument I've heard is that the constitution only applies to people who are in the US and her citizens. At a border crossing you're not in the US, and if you're not a US citizen, then I think you literally have no rights.

the idea is the US is ruled by laws. when you're in US territory, you are subject to those laws. not being a citizen doesn't mean you have no rights.then again this is the same government who says the Constitution doesn't apply 100 miles in from the border (where a significant percentage of the populace lives...)

Go read the 14th Amendment. Anyone within US borders has legal standing and rights.Here is an excerpt:nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws

Yes, "just" to get around constitutional rights. The constitution applies to everyone within the United States, citizen or otherwise. Removing them from US soil simplifies the equation somewhat.

You're being misleadingly pedantic.This article is about people who are US citizens abroad, or foreigners who came to USA or who are under the jurisdiction (imprisonment) of territory controlled by the USA government.Non-resident non-citizen non-present people violating US national security (rightly or wrongly, that's per the government's judgment) don't have Constitutional rights.

That argument is wrong, the constitution not only applies to US citizens while they are out of the US, but it also applies to people who aren't US citizens."No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive ANY PERSON of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor deny to ANY PERSON within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"

The "everyone" referred to in that document and all other laws in the USA apply to people after they're here. Not before.Yes they apply to both citizens and non citizens alike. All have those freedoms and short of seeking elected office or voting, there isn't much distinction.But that doesn't mean those rights apply externally. A woman in Saudi Arabia doesn't have freedom of speech per the US first ammendment. A man in Russia doesn't have fourth ammendmen

The US Constitution only applies to US citizens and those others resident in the US.If you're not in the US (legally or illegally) then you're not resident and you're not covered.However, the US is also a signatory to the UN Declaration of Human Rights which is also an international self-executing treaty, and therefore of equal standing to the Constitution in US law. But whether the US Government recognizes the rights under that treaty need to be determined by court cases th

If you're on US soil you're subject to US law, including all provisions of the Constitution. And the Constitution makes a distinction between 'citizens' and 'people' (i.e., everybody, including noncitizens)
