  > Noncitizens undeniably have a wide range of rights under the Constitution. Indeed, within the borders of the United States, they have most of the same rights as citizens do, and longstanding Supreme Court precedent bans most state laws discriminating against noncitizens. There is little if any serious controversy among experts over this matter. https://www.learnliberty.org/blog/t-he-constitutional-rights-of-noncitizens/ https://www.learnliberty.org/blog/t-he-constitutional-rights...
