That “school of thought” is just flat-out wrong. The Bill of Rights doesn’t say what rights people have; it says what Congress cannot do. When Congress can’t do it at all, who it can’t do it to is irrelevant.
That school of thought would have to include the fact that if rights don’t apply, neither do laws, and being “an illegal” wouldn’t exist because those rights and laws no longer apply.
It falls apart when you spend 0 seconds thinking about it.

There’s a school of thought out there where only citizens have the full rights granted by the constitution…
Meanwhile there’s no such thing as precedent or rule of law…

It does not. Neither does it support the legal theories that led to Jan 6. But here we are.
Tell that to the moron MAGA supporters. They keep saying that the US Constitution is only for US citizens, no one else.
I guess they don’t know about, “WE THE PEOPLE”.
You and I are the only US citizens. Those people faked their documents. They can prove it if El Salvador is willing to un-deport them.
Which sucks because MAGA are the only people with enough will power to enforce these things.
Don’t see the word “citizen” in the first amendment.
Spoiler: even illegal immigrants are entitled to due process.
It’s uh, likely why the word “due” is in the phrase.

You mean the white house toilet paper?

The 1st amendment is only effective if you have a government and a court that will enforce it.
We don’t have that here in America.
In normal times I’d agree, however these times are anything but normal.
Oh has the Constitution been burned in effigy yet?
