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.
How does the Constitution say otherwise?
I’m not a constitutional expert but it seems to me if you’re going to have a Constitution at all, whether USA or any other country, that it would apply to your citizens only. So for example, Americans would not be covered under the French constitution, or the Latvian constitution etc and their citizens not under ours.
Just on a logic basis, if a country’s constitution applies to everyone, not just supposed citizens, then the whole concept of nationality and citizenship disappears.
What am I missing?
