Too many people think the Bill of Rights applies to everyone. WRONG. The Bill of Rights applies to US citizens ONLY.

No! The Bill of Rights applies to the U.S. Government, It was designed to restrict the government from interfearing in our lives. Through that restriction it supposedly protects U.S. Citizens. The Bill of Rights is ignored by the government because we don't understand the purpose of the Bill of Rights, until a majority of the people understand, it will continue to be ignored.

I stand corrected. The Bill of Rights limits the powers the the US Gov't. I just reread them at this link:

What I'm saying this that these protections apply to US Citizens only, NOT illegal aliens.
