This is getting close to where my take on the subject applies.

I believe the founders of the USA knew that we have inalienable rights. Just like the color of my eyes, they cannot be given to me, or taken away. Everyone is born with these rights.

HOWEVER, it is the US law, (which is bound by our borders and legal citizens), that says the government should protect and not infringe on these rights. This means it is not the duty of the US government to protect those rights for non-US citizens, no matter where they reside.

Interesting thought that the US DoI was a universalist document.
