Of course it's clear that the Founders only had citizens in mind when Jefferson wrote in the DoI:

"WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all American citizens are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."

[H.Akston]

I could say that there is nothing in the Declaration of Independence, or The Bill Of Rights, that distinguishes Turkish "persons" from American "persons", so all Turks are protected by the Bill of Rights, as well, whether or not they're on US soil, by your logic. You know this is not true.

You therefore, obviously, have to read more than just the Bill of Rights to interpret correctly who is meant by "person". You're not doing that.

If you're going to liberally define "person", for the purposes of your argument with me, you're going to have to protect everyone in the world with the Bill of Rights. You can't have it both ways.
