Access to American courts should be barred by anyone who is not in this country legally. Period.

I find it reprehensible that I don't have standing to sue to determine if my President is qualified, but an illegal alien has standing to sue for defamation against someone who rightfully calls him a criminal.

What about the 14th Amendment? It clearly says that “all persons” within the US have rights to due process and equal protection of the laws, though it also makes clear that citizens have more rights:

“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.”
