In a word—illegal immigrants have Second Amendment rights too.
The case was titled United States v. Meza-Rodriguez, and the decision was handed down on August 20.
The Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel reports that the decision was written by Judge Diane Wood “for a panel that included Judges Frank Easterbrook and Joel Flaum.”

This court is one of the most liberal in the country. How in the hell does an illegal have ANY RIGHTS? ? This court and judge doesn't seem how to follow the Constitution. This decision in its self is illegal.
WHY NOT THEY GET EVERYTHING ELSE THAT AMERICAN CITIZENS CANT HAVE!
1254-Because rights are bestowed by the Creator, not by man, not by Gov't. Unless you suddenly don't believe in the Constitution and the principles of the Founding Fathers?
If we are allowed to have guns and England says no to their citizens. Do our rules apply to their citizens? No. If their citizens visit us, does our 2nd amendment now apply? No, we are merely "babysitting".
We have loops ,hoops, mountains and the moon to jump over to get out guns. How can an undocumented person get weapons? This is more to set up the move by the government to ultimately sieze our weapons.
Time to change the federal gun forms that ask you if you are a citizen. etc.
good they are going to need them. see story above.
They are law breakers. I thought criminals weren't supposed to be allowed to own guns.
Exactly!
Criminals should not have any rights! They forfeited their rights upon committing a criminal act! Entering this country illegally - or overstaying your permit is a criminal offense. The fact that they are here is proof of their criminality - they are in the act of committing a crime - add a gun and it becomes aggravated!
The liberal weiners on this court got it all wrong!
How do you legally buy a handgun in a state you aren't a legal resident of, without having to go through a third-party FFA licensed dealer?
The states need to define the militia as legal citizens. Then the court cannot make this kind of claim any longer.
Read 2:27 post. That may clear it up for ya.
If you are not a citizen of this country, OUR constitution does not apply to you. Yours does, as well as all our laws regarding alien visitors, legal or illegal.
Chew that.
Excuse me; NO THEY DON'T. They are breaking our laws just by being illegal. They are not citizens and therefore not legally part of America and don't get our benefits. (At least this is the way it should work)!!!!
Liberals are having a tuff time with this one. How do they give rights to illegals, and still infringe on mine? Oh the poor liberals.
To my mind, as illegals, they shouldn't have the rights guaranteed to others. Hekk, they're getting tax refunds without paying taxes. Despicable!
The question is..... Is coming into the country illegally a felony? If not then it should be.
