Working on something, and I can’t find the law, amendment, or precedent that says that Constitutional protections extend to non-citizens in the United States.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

/ March 1, 2012You need to distinguish between legal and illegal aliens in the USA. Furthermore, there are two sorts of legal aliens:
– If you're a legal alien on a non-immigrant visa (i.e. a tourist or work visa), you have relatively few rights.
– If you're a legal permanent resident alien (i.e. here with a so-called 'green card'), you have almost all the constitutional rights of citizens – after all, you're a taxpayer, and paying taxes earns you the rights of taxpayers. The only exceptions are voting, jury duty, etc., where citizenship is a prerequisite.
