Ok, so what that says is:
"We the People of the United States [...] do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

It was created by people of the United States.  ... so?

"We the People of the United States [...] do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

I personally think it should apply only to US Citizens but I don't know what the rules are.
