If a foreign person requests asylum and it is granted, then he's covered. But that has to happen. If we don't grant it, they don't get that protection. Barr made a blanket statement that could have applied to Al-Quadas in this country, who haven't requested asylum. I can't believe I'm having to explain this.

Well, if the Bill of Rights is, as I believe, an enumeration of our natural rights then, philosophically, they do apply to everyone. That is not to say that we mustn't apprehend and prosecute those who would themselves violate rights, such as the Al Queda terrorists. Of course we should.

You are so off base for so many reasons, it isn't even funny. I suppose you think that anyone can shoot a non-citizen dead... after all, they're not a citizen and not covered by the Bill of Rights. In fact, if non-citizens criticize a senator, let's throw them into prison, they don't have the right to free speech, because they are not covered by the Bill of Rights, right? Just out of curiosity, which laws and rights do you think DO cover non-citizens here? And if you go to England, you think you're still covered by our laws and not theirs? Part of what makes a civilized country civilized is that they apply justice and laws BLINDLY and equally to all within their borders, that is to say, without prejudice.
