The Supreme Court has previously ruled that undocumented immigrants have constitutional rights in criminal cases, including a Sixth Amendment right to trial and Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The 8th Circuit declined to extend the right to bear arms to illegal immigrants. The appeals court has previously upheld other criminal laws that prohibit convicted felons and narcotics addicts from possessing firearms.

Illegal immigrants have no right to arms - court
I've always been of the understanding that "the people" were
bona fide citizens and not just any person residing in the U.S. While it might seem patently unfair, basic legal rights of illegal aliens ARE being held to constitutional scrutiny while other rights (such as gun ownership) are not.
