X, there's been a lot of talk about rights on this board. I think sometimes we forget that Eli n and everyone else on the face of the earth may be entitled to certain human rights, but the specific additional rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," etc. are conferred by the U.S. Constitution upon U.S. citizens. It is a great gift. Many other countries confer rights upon their citizens similar to those in the U.S. but many other people are from countries where they have no such luck. Non-citizens located in the U.S. may be entitled to certain rights different from or in addition to those granted them in their homelands, but it's inaccurate to approach an analysis of their rights as though they have the same rights as U.S. citizens.
