The 5th and the 14th amendment cover all people, not just citizens. Here is an informative read on how and why and the history of the question of non-citizen rights. http://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?ar... Found this after a discussion of the rights of Boston Marathon suspects as non-citizens. Pretty much they have every right of a non-citizen, except the right to vote.



that's an interesting read. I m about to reform my opinions (pending, since its quite a long read, and i've only skimmed it).
