is there a law in the US that mentions the rights of foreign residents and visitors?

Question

give me specific answers!!!
what does the law state?

Answer 1

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.

The second part of that is important in the way it is worded. It does not state "citizen", as in part 1, but uses the term "person", which imples anyone, citizen or not.

Wow, thumbs down. I guess the Constitution bothers you.

Answer 2

The Bill of Rights applies to all persons within the United States (citizen, foreigner, visitor, illegal, etc ...). It is not a legislative document per se (being that which applies to non-US citizens), but a succession of Supreme Court and Federal Court decisions ... also known as a jurisprudence clause.

A thumbs down ... really!?! I'm sorry you're ignorant of what the reality of the situation is, because if you look it up you will see that I am right. I'm getting really sick of uneducated morons going around giving thumbs down to people who post factual information.

I don't know if you realize this but the Bill of Rights is a separate document from the Constitution of the United States -- they are not the same thing. The Bill of Rights applies to all persons within the United States regardless of how or why they are there. The US Constitution (in its entirety) only applies to US citizens.

Did any of you morons here take at least High School civics?

Let me ask you this then ... when one goes to the National Archives in Washington DC why is it the Bill of Rights and the Constitution are separate documents in different parts of the building? Hmmmmmmmm .... Thats why we call the Bill of Rights the Bill of Rights and not the Constitutional Amendments ...

Answer 3

I am sure there are some for legal residents or visitors dealing with visas, which in turn I would think would explain their rights, or at least the rights of the host country

Answer 4

Of course, there are several laws that give foreign residents rights in various areas. What rights are you wondering about?

Answer 5

I don't know, but I'm really, really curious why you would ask.

Don't you think foreign residents and visitors are entitled to legal protections?

3D Farms (aka Stormfront Shill) is full of crap, as usual. For instance, if a foreign visitor is mugged, the law classifies the act as a crime. And rightfully so.

Answer 6

Illegal retribution in the state constitutions, and we should vote for a president who will correct all constitutions that must abide by the ordained Constitution of the United States. No state is allowed to change the Constitution of the United States by applying an amendment within the state constitution that is contrary to the Constitution of the United States.

Answer 7

I think it depends on the circumstances of the visit. Residents have any rights that all Americans have, visitors, it depends on if the are illegal or not. If they are illegal, they waive all rights, if not they have the same as citizens.

Answer 8

there is not any awesome certain awesome to pass into the U. S. purely via fact somebody is a occasion to a civil lawsuit or is being asked to look as a witness in a lawsuit. it fairly isn't any longer a given civil awesome. otherwise people who're criminals, terrorists, no longer financially able to pay their very own help, who don't have passports from their very own worldwide places, or who otherwise no longer entitled to pass into the U. S. ought to record frivolous court docket circumstances to get into the country. via fact that there is not any automatic assure or awesome to pass into the U. S., there is not any negligence or obstruction of justice.

Answer 9

An amendment to a document is a part of the document which was amended, therefor the Bill of Rights is NOT a separate document from the Constitution but a PART OF the Constitution.
