Read some of the works by Thomas Jefferson. He opined on the topic of "All men are created equal" that the Natural Rights protected by our Constitution applies to anyone living within our borders as well as anyone living in our territories. He goes on to state that people living in other nations where such rights are denied are living under tyranny.

Furthermore, anyone subject to our laws are recipients of our rights.

I am not the world’s biggest fan of Jefferson. I prefer Burke and Voltaire. What you are suggesting could be extended in dangerous ways. Voting rights? Illegal aliens are also subject to our laws...
