The constitution only applies to American citizens and to a lesser extent others living physically within the US and its territories.
There is a bunch of material on this topic (both on illegals in the US and US territories) but as a start:

Essentially even if you're in a US territory the US constitution only barely applies, and it doesn't apply at all to everyone not in either a US state or its territories.
