I think that there is plenty of case law of extending constutional protections to non-citizens. One that comes to mind were the rulings against California inwhich the courts ruled the they were obligated to provide schooling and social services to illegal aliens (a really fucked rulling IMNSHO but if some good can come out of it no sense not making use of it).
In a much more fundamental sense, if they were not given constitutional protections they really could be rounded up and bussed across the border.
And what would be wrong with this?
Not a damned thing. While in this country they are in the act of committing a crime. Once they have been deported they have stopped committing the crime and then they can plead to appear in court. -=-=- The 2nd guarantees all the rest.
