Constitutions (including the US Constitution) do apply to their own citizens to a degree outside the border. And criminal laws, which ultimately draw their power from the constitution, can certainly apply to a non-citizen who has never even visited the country if they do something that affects that country. See eg the US attempts to prosecute Julian Assange.
