It comes down to the word 'inalienable' and how the Founders thought of human rights and mankind's relationship to the Creator.
Something that's inalienable is involate - it cannot be given or taken by a government because they aren't privileges. This is the basis of libertarian thought and the cornerstone of American thought. It wasn't just a 'Tom guy', this is the mindset of the Founders and the reason for the Bill of Rights. Some rights, namely those outlined in the Bill of Rights, with the Ninth Amendment stating that even this bill isn't exhaustive, are inalienable and belong to people, not citizens. In fact, the term 'citizen' isn't used once in the document, or does it state that God only recognizes these rights if people are living within their own jurisdictions.
I personally believe things like these rights, including the First Amendment, are fundamental to a human solely on the basis that they're human. Deport those who are here illegally, and do not discriminate based on what opinions they hold.
To quote Ron Paul, “The Bill of Rights has no exceptions for really bad people or terrorists or
even non-citizens. It is a key check on government power against any person. That is not a weakness in our legal system, it is the very strength of our legal system. The NDAA attempts to justify abridging the Bill of Rights on the theory that rights are suspended in a time of war, and the entire United States is a battlefield in the war on terror. This is a very dangerous development, indeed. Beware.”
And because I know people will probably want a source:
