The only thing not true by any stretch of the imagination is your knowledge of the law. The SCOTUS, for well over 100 years, has recognized that non-citizens have a Constitutional due process right.
Wong Wing v. United States (1896):
"...it must be concluded that all persons within the territory of the United States are entitled to the protection guarantied by those amendments, and that even aliens shall not be held to answer for a capital or other infamous crime unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law."

Zadvydas v. Davis (2001)
"...the Due Process Clause applies to all persons within the United States, including aliens, whether their presence is lawful, unlawful, temporary, or permanent."
