Every individual has natural rights (natural as in "not artificial" and derived from nature).
The Constitution does not bestow rights upon people; rights are neither granted nor taken away.
The Constitution outlines the structure of the federal government and explicitly states what it can and can't do. The Constitution does not apply to people, but dictates how the federal gvmt must act in regard to the individual. Everyone on Earth has the same rights that are (allegedly) protected by the Constitution, regardless of whether they are a resident, a "US citizen", or their geographic location. Everyone.
