Agreed, but tossaway's point hold some merit. If the people in this country aren't playing by the rules they've agreed to, it's going to be more difficult to get them to agree to new rules.

I agree. In fact I would say these words mean any living person regardless of nationality (though the courts would disagree with me):

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government

Agreed, which is why the US and many other countries have shit track records by human rights groups.
