The Constitution itself is not all that big on Civil Rights. You'll find that material in the Bill of Rights, the first handful of amendments. And those only apply to U.S. citizens. To find the laws governing treatment of non-citizens you'd need to look more into U.S. Law itself (messy) or into our treaties with other nations: Geneva Convention, etc. |
