What rights do foreigners have in the USA?

Question

IS there any difference when compared with the rights of citizens?

Answer 1

Yes -- there are differences.

Most of the rights (protections) in the Bill of Rights apply to everyone -- because they are limitations on govt action. Some other specific rights -- such as under the 13th not to be a slave, or some rights under the 14th or under Article I -- those also apply to everyone, because again they are mostly limitations on govt action.

Citizens have certain additional legal rights -- from Article IV, the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment, and others -- mostly dealing with unrestricted travel within the US, unrestricted work opportunities within the US, and the right to vote.

Answer 2

Individuals within the borders of the United States enjoy all the rights afforded to citizens, except the right to vote, hold public office and work (except of course, if they possess a work visa).

Answer 3

seems like they have more rights than we do,they sneak over here,and we'll give em a welcome wagon basket,health care.this country needs to take a stand and start being hard asses and hunt these people down.send them back home in boxes or use them as an alternative source of fuel.I know america is a country built on different races.but the first people who came here for a better life actually worked them selves to death.but now people lazy and are just looking for a handout.I say off with their hands.

Answer 4

It appears they have more rights than some of the citizens.

Answer 5

the only thing they cant do is not vote.

Of course when it comes to the ignorant fools in daily encounters, ya'll will suffer. Sorry for that.

Answer 6

the right to go home.
