I am working on some maps and charts for next week on citizenship in our country. Citizenship is a big issue these days, and I thought it would be interesting to present the facts on the issue. One thing I was reading intrigued me:

Within U.S. territory, non-citizens have rights because of the 14th Amendment, which declares “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

This article lays out the case law on this issue: http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/immigration/255281-yes-illegal-aliens-have-constitutional-rights
