Slight clarification to your last sentence: the Border Search Exception that allows the searching of non-citizens' digital contents equally extends to US citizens re-entering the country. (see: US v. Ramsey 1977, US v. Montoya de Hernandez 1985).

Whereas the 4th amendment does protect those within the US regardless of whether they're here legally or not (see: Wong Sun v. US 1963; INS v. Lopez-Mendoza 1984).
