All "persons" mentioned in the Bill of Rights, are persons "of the United States". Other persons can be deported and have their things confiscated - deprived of liberty and property - without due process, technically in violation of 5th Amendment rights, since they have no firm rights thereunder.

Frenchman Z. Moussoui's computer could have been searched, and we quite possibly could have gained information about the terrorist attack in time to prevent it, if people in this country were not so concerned with our enemy's fictitious "4th Amendment rights". The Constitution does not necessarily protect persons who are not "OF THE UNITED STATES". It says in the preamble who it was established for.

We're going to commit suicide, if we extend BoR protections to all "persons" who are not PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, blindly. After we're vaporized in a mushroom cloud, who's going to uphold the Bill of Rights? Or maybe you're counting on the mushroom cloud not to get you? Survival is priority one. Grant unto the foreign, visiting, terrorists with their illegal visas, the same rights they granted to the citizens in the WTC.

Listen, jackass. You ask a question and I give you a fairly detailed answer based on the principles of Constitutional construction and then you simply go back to spouting your ill-informed nonsense. Until you obtain a clear understanding of even the basic concepts of legal interpretation, you are completely out of your league.
