If a person takes up arms against their own countrymen they do not deserve the rights afforded them under The Constitution.

RL beat me to the punch. If we strip citizens of their Constitutional rights before due process, then what good is the Constitution? If we can go around willy nilly and deny rights to people we
think are terrorists, I have a list for you. It starts with a cake baker by the name of...

Limited citizenship rights till then.

TR has an interesting point. It is kind of
Starship Troopers -ish. I like it. Why
should we get these rights just because the place of our birth is geographically desirable?
However, to put a crinkle in your plan, what is to stop an individual from being breed in this county, raised a model citizen, and even joining the military or civil service as a rouse to gain access to rights that only citizens do have? What then?
Or were you suggesting that we take a citizenship test at 18 years-old? Something similar to a driver's license?
