As I cited earlier, The Supreme Court, starting with Vick Wo v Hopkins says otherwise.
Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356 (1886), was the first case where the United States Supreme Court ruled that a law that is race-neutral on its face, but is administered in a prejudicial manner, is an infringement of the Equal Protection Clause in the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
And there have been numerous affirmations since then.

Please cite ONE case where the Supreme Court said that the term "the people" as expressed in the Constitution only applies to citizens.
