Citation?
I quoted above where it clearly states that all PEOPLE, not citizens specifically, are entitled to the rights of the constitution. The founding fathers knew exactly what they were doing by choosing the word "people" rather than "citizen." The intent was clearly to extend the protections of the constitution to all PEOPLE within its territories. By taking these people into our custody, the penumbra of the constitution covers them as well.
