"If the Bill or Rights applies to everyone then why do we have INS raids?"

The Bill of Rights does not address one's right to be here (i.e., immigration). It does address your rights while you are here (other than the right to be here).

Can you/anyone name ONE United States Supreme Court case which holds or even implies that resident aliens in this country do not enjoy all of the protection of the Bill of Rights? No, you can't, because all of the justices --Scalia and Thomas included -- recognize this basic undeniable fact. They may disagree on the precise application of a particular right under a specific set of facts but NO ONE takes the position that the Bill of Rights only applies to citizens.

Then why is Sen Mccain concerned that terrorist can buy guns at a gun show. If they are protected by the 2nd amendment then they can buy them legally at a gun show.
