Non USA citizens to not have USA Constitutional rights.

If they do, then USA citizenship means nothing as, effectively, everyone on the planet has USA Constitutional rights. Therefore USA citizenship as a distinct thing is non-existent.

Ok, I respect your opinion on this but I am also saying that everyday, the Constitution we have says otherwise. It makes no distinction between an American national or alien.

I am not saying this is proper, quite the opposite. Let human rights for aliens be defined by international treaty or charter and NOT protected by our Constitution.

I am merely raising a point of contention in which one day, an illegal is going to kill a citizen with a firearm and making the successful argument that he was exercising his 2nd Amendment, some say God given, right to self protection, when in essence, he is an armed invader.

If his argument is denied, he may be able to appeal on the 14th Amendment equal protection clause.

I know of no case law that settles this matter.
