Illegal Immigrants Civil Rights

Depends on how you interpret civil rights.

Some parts of the constitution specifically refer to US citizens for rights like voting, but other civil rights are applied to everyone whether they are a citizen or not. If a British tourist is charged with a crime in North Carolina they still get the same rights guaranteed Americans... warrant for search/seizure, probable cause for arrest, trial by peers, they can plead the 5th etc.

British tourists aren't illegal immigrants.

True but same applies. An illegal immigrant charged with a crime can plead the 5th, has right to a trial, can't be subjected to search without a warrant, right to legal counsel, etc.

The illegal immigrant isn't even a criminal for being one, unlawful presence is a civil violation not a criminal one.

Illegal immigrants have already comited a crime, being here illegally. They have no rights.
