There is some wording that this court has zero'd in on and is arguably a valid interpretation.
That said, I would vehemently argue that ".
..rights are reserved for U.S.citizens" is incorrect.
The US Constitution protects those rights within territory in control of the US Government but the rights are inherent to ALL people.
Sadly, the vast majority of the world is not protected by the US Constitution.
If you are here illegally, you are a felon. The are many non US citizens who are NOT here illegally. I have no problem with the lawful having the full protection of the US Constitution. But, those protections are only for the lawful.
The vast majority of the world did not, and will not, fight for constitutional protections, wherever that might be. I am beyond positive that is the case, and feel neither sadness, or, anything else for that plight. That is on them.
This, is the exceptional place and people. I am over the notion of exporting the concept of a republic to the rest of the world, after witnessing that failure time and time again. I would argue that almost half the voting age citizens here don’t get it, and would sign up for a hard socialist who promised them what any socialist attempt thus far has failed to provide.
The further problem with socialism is you can vote your way into it, but, have to shoot your way out. Very inelegant, and usually unsuccessful, simply because a socialist is really a communist who hasn’t taken away your gun, and then showed you his.
Best,
Ted
