No. Constitutional rights for all. Plus deportation for illegals. But still due process. Other rights for illegals are a different story. The Constitution is the law of the land. At the beginning of the nation we were all foreigners, except for the real natives we tried to drive to extinction (another story). And, Yes, we have the right to limit immigration, just as every other nation has.
Every US citizen legally in a foreign country should also have the same basic rights as it's citizens.

Absolutely!!!
That this is even a question in American today is the cause for many of our country's problems.
It is the United States constitution...of course it pertains only to United States citizens. Our laws cover everyone in our borders, but our constitution is for the citizens only.

No, illegals have many of the same rights while in America that citizens have. They can not be beaten and held without cause by the police, etc. The only right they really don't have is they do not have the right to stay here.

Well, yes virginia, the constitution was written with American citizens in mind. Enemy combatants do not have rights under the USC, they are subject to uniform military code. (if they are uniformed combatants.) Terrorists non-uniform do not fall under uniform code. They are terrorists. In my humble opinion they should be tried and executed on the spot as they have been doing to our soldiers and civilians around the globe. No passing go, no collecting $200.

Yes. As a case in point, I don't think you could deport a US Citizen. Non-US citizens can't vote, etc. There are many rights citizens have the non-citizens don't and shouldn't have.

Amendment XIV
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. 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.
Sounds to me like the author is saying ANY person is protected by the law regardless of citizenship.

yes; the Declaration says "we the people of the United States...; Constitution was written to govern those people "of the United States"
