The issue is do non-citizens have constitutional protected rights?

It's not that simple really, at the Supreme Court level it's not about immigration it's about jurisdiction and federalization.
And generally we extend most rights to non-citizens in some form or another. But this isn't about that, beyond the federal vs state issues it's about whether people who LOOK like illegal immigrants should be asked for their papers. That can include legal US citizens. (Even if it's not supposed to.)
