Clearly, under our constitution, being Arab doesn't exclude you from constitutional rights.

The Consitution doesn't apply just to citizens or just in our country. The reasonable conclusion is that it applies wherever we are in control, whereever we assert our law. This is consistent with the Declaration of Independence, which says that all men are endowed with inalienable rights. That's a statement of our creed that is incorporated in the Constitution.
