Does the constitution cover illegal immigrants?

Yes
The Constitution is clear in which rights are limited to non-citizens, implying the rest remain for everyone in our country.
This hasn't been in dispute for like 150 years

But a more direct reply is, that it does not follow, because aliens are not parties to the constitution, as citizens are parties to it, that whilst they actually conform to it, they have no right to its protection. Aliens are not more parties to the laws, than they are parties to the constitution; yet it will not be disputed, that as they owe on one hand, a temporary obedience, they are entitled in return, to their protection and advantage.
If aliens had no rights under the constitution, they might not only be banished, but even capitally punished, without a jury or the other incidents to a fair trial. But so far has a contrary principle been carried, in every part of the United States, that except on charges of treason, an alien has, besides all the common privileges, the special one of being tried by a jury, of which one half may be also aliens.

SCOTUS did open up Constitutional rights to apply to non citizens decades ago.
I think it was a mistake.
Being a U.S. citizen should be special.
It should be something meaningful.
Now not only does it have almost no meaning, it's a disadvantage.
