Our government feels that the "all men" in "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights" really just means US citizens.
The courts have held over and over that our constitution does not protect the rights of non-citizens. That's why we can legally execute a 'terrorist' in another country with a missile fired from a drone without even so much as them being charged with a crime. With all the false convictions of US Citizens that make it through our "due process," I wonder how many of those extrajudicial executions were based on incorrect information?
Rarely do they even want to respect the constitution for actual US citizens. The protections and rights granted are slowly being chipped away by the executive and legislative branches, and now even the judicial branch is becoming politicized.
