Hot take, I'm not even sure "rights" apply to anything but individual humans.

  That's a distinctly 20th century individualistic take. From the Magna Carta to the Constitution, "rights" are primarily collective rights. They structure the relationship between the government and "the people." The First Amendment is not there so individuals can "express themselves." It's to maintain the communication and transparency necessary for democracy to work.

    Be that as it may. Who or what has the rights described? Do corporations have a right to assembly what does that even mean? Or do it's individuals have rights which under some circumstances make it seem like a corporation has rights? Employees have a right to freedom of speech, so companies can make statements protected by the right to free speech.

      This is important because undocumented immigrants are starting to assert their Second Amendment rights.
