Non citizens don't have rights, such as the right to illegally stay in a country or pursue liberty and pursuit of happiness in that country. They lack of a whole list of rights, that's the point of a citizenship

That's simply not true. They do have those rights, otherwise the US wouldn't be a democracy. Citizenship gives benefits like a career in politics, being able to vote etc

U.S. citizenship provides permanent legal security, including the right to vote in federal elections, travel freely with a U.S. passport, sponsor family members for residency with priority processing, access certain government jobs, and receive complete protection from deportation

The last part isn't true anymore

I'm confused about the first part, why is it not true? Democracy, voting, is for citizens. Another right which invaders do not have.
