The privilege that is extended to citizens but denied to foreigners is the right to vote
A person can not be denied the right to vote based on race, sex, or religion. However it has not always been this way.
The 19th Amendment covers that right.
The United States Constitutions posits that states which refuse to give the right to vote to any of its citizens can be denied representation in the House of Representatives. Yet, despite this clause within the Constitution, African-Americans were denied suffrage in the 1960's. This clause has never been enacted.
