Umm, I'm pretty sure that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are written for American citizens. Not illegals.

Not only does the Constitution grant noncitizens most of the same rights as citizens, but longstanding Supreme Court precedent also forbids many state laws discriminating against aliens. In cases such as Bernal v. Fainter (1984), the court has ruled that laws discriminating on the basis of alienage are subject to “strict scrutiny” — that is, they will be struck down unless the government can prove that they are “narrowly tailored” to the promotion of a “compelling state interest.”

Well OK then! I stand corrected.
You'll have to deal with the illegals before I will.
