"Absurd. The rights enumerated in the consitution do not derive from the document. Foereigners have rights whether you like it or not."

Certainly they do.

Just not as many as U.S. Citizens.

Unlike yourself, I do not value citizenship so cheaply. Does the Bill of Rights mean nothing? Nothing, I mean, in comparison to the rights enjoyed by, say, a citizen of North Korea?

If U.S. citizens have no more rights than subjects of the Taliban, would you agree to emigrate to Afghanistan right now? I'd buy you a ticket.

This turns the idea that all men are created equal right on its head. That the government of Afghanistan doesn't exist to protect those rights is not a reason to deny everyone who comes here the "...inaliananble rights endowed by their Creator."
