Mmmm, the immigration issue is only tangentially affected by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Legal immigrants, of course, are covered by both. Illegal immigrants don't get the full banana, but I don't know the ins and outs of it. But litigating under civil rights law is a tough way to get anything done in the short term, unless you can get an injunction. Rehnquist's recent book on habeas corpus and martial law is interesting for the analogy, courts are likely to go into balancing-test-mode and if the emergency seems dire enough, civil rights get shorter weight.
