When the founders of the country said human beings were born with inalienable rights, do you think they meant that noncitizens are not?

- _moof 5y agoProbably? The founders didn't even give American women the vote. Let's not go pretending they had some expansive notion of what the word "human" means. FWIW I agree with your basic point--rights are rights, no matter who you are--but if you try to find that idea in anything "the founders" did, you're going to be extremely disappointed.
