🧾 Does the Constitution Apply to Non-Citizens — Even Illegals? Yes — and not because of opinion, but because of how it’s written. The U.S. Constitution protects “persons,” not just “citizens.” That’s why undocumented immigrants are still guaranteed things like: ✅ Due Process (5th & 14th Amendments) ✅ Equal Protection under the law ✅ Freedom from unlawful search or indefinite detention But — ❌ voting, ❌ gun rights, ❌ federal benefits, and ❌ legal status are NOT included. This has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, including landmark cases like Plyler v. Doe (1982) and Zadvydas v. Davis (2001). 🔗 Source: https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/us/immigrants-rights-explainer/index.html 📢 JSA2026 Stands Firm: “We believe in the Constitution — but it’s time we stop letting it be used to give illegal entrants privileges over American citizens. I’ll defend due process — but I’ll end undue privilege.” — 📅 April 22, 2025 📞 Campaign HQ: (516) 882-6275 🌐 www.bettrsm.com #ConstitutionalRights #DueProcess #ImmigrationPolicy #JSA2026 #BETTRNews #EqualProtection #TurnNYRed #IllegalImmigration #ConstitutionNotLoopholes
