Under the Constitution non-citizens have the same rights as any other human being. Our rights don't come from the Constitution. The only thing they can't do is vote. They have a right to trial by jury, to travel anonymously, to be secure in their personal effects (privacy), etc.

As far as the courts testing the Constitutionality, that is irrelevant. The courts routinely rule in violation of the Constitution including the Supreme Court.
