There has been an active, winning campaign that has insisted that the Constitution and all rights guaranteed by it applies to anyone who resides within our borders. I think that the only thing non-citizens can't do is vote, but obviously they want to change that too.
The constitution does not give any rights. It restricts the government. It recognizes the God given rights that all men have. We have these rights regardless of the government. And those rights belong to all men, but are ensured within these borders.
Unfortunately, people think the constitution is what gives us rights and that is incorrect.
I'm saying refugees are like guests in this country that really shouldn't ever be granted citizenship. They are taking temporary refuge due to extenuating circumstances. They should be returned to their country when it becomes safer. Immigrants aren't citizens automatically, they go through a process to become citizens when they have proved they are valuable to the community and understand our country. When an immigrant proves those things, they are then granted full access to the constitutional protections
Refugees aren't citizens
Our rights aren't reserved for citizens.
Not exactly true; the only right that is reserved for citizens only is the right to vote.
All others are for anyone residing in the US.
Citizens have fewer rights if anything.

Not anymore.
They are and they aren't.
The constitution is applied as a restriction to the government, a government rule book, thus anyone LEGALLY in the USA is covered.
A legal tourist can not purchase a firearm. The people is most likely defined as the citizenry. There are restrictions on non citizens.
Perhaps we were not talking about tourism but refugee / immigration lol
