So you think that full Constitutional rights should be extended to anybody, is that it?

Absolutely. If they are on US soil, they are protected by the Constitution**. Also, a US citizen abroad is protected by the Constitution insofar is any US action against them. The Constitution doesn't protect us from other governments, but it absolutely protects us from our own (no matter where we are).

Albaby explained that to all of us several years ago. Or maybe it was on TMF.

**Which is why EO 9066 was so odious, and clearly unconstitutional. I think (though maybe albaby can confirm) that POWs held in the states during WWII were exempted (and, had they had any children somehow, those children would not have been citizens). But that's about the only situation where the Constitution would not apply.
