The Miranda is for people in the American court system.
If someone illegally crosses the border from Mexico to the US and they are arrested, while they are not Americans, they still have the same rights because they have been brought into our legal system and those rights are available to every one who is brought into that legal system.
They might not be Americans. But we are. So we afford those rights to those who are in our legal system.
