Foreigners living within the United States are much less likely than citizens and long-term residents to actually care about the long-term well-being of the United States. They would likely vote in people that don't have America's best interests at heart. In addition, the right to vote is guaranteed to citizens of the United States, not everyone who happens to be in the country.

I can't just move to France and demand that my vote should count in their elections and that I should have a right to vote in their elections. I am a newcomer to their country, do not fully understand their values, culture, and way of life. Now if I Have lived there for years and filed for French citizenship The right way, I would then have a better understanding for how the democratic process works in their country. Why would it be any different for foreigners coming to America?

The government is of, by, and for the people of the United States. Citizens of other nations have no right to participation in choosing the leaders of this country. The system was designed to prevent colonizing powers like Britain and France from installing their own candidates, and while that threat is no longer apparent, the principle behind remains valid.

Constitutional rights are granted to US citizens. If you're not a citizen, you don't have our rights. That's not to say they shouldn't be treated with dignity and respect. Also, if you want the constitution to apply to illegal immigrants, it must be applied in full. This includes the right to bear arms.
