Let’s assume, for a second, that there are an equal number of noncitizens who vote as there are citizens who have their ability to vote infringed upon (this clearly isn’t true, but whatever). What’s worse letting a noncitizen vote or depriving a citizen of their constitutional right?

Can you give an example of depriving a citizen of their constitutional right?

Using a program like CrossCheck and disenrolling people just because someone in another state has the same name, like Jose Rodriguez, but somehow, people like Thomas Wilson aren't flagged.
Requiring a state issued ID but then closing the agency that issues those IDs in counties with large minority populations, while leaving them open in counties where most people are not minority.
Refusing to accept photo college IDs yet accepting gun permits.
How many more examples would you like? Those are just the top of my head but I could google more for you if you need.
It’s interesting how many 2nd Ammendment absolutists are willing to restrict someone’s voting rights, if their papers aren’t in order.
And it's interesting how many free speech absolutists are willing to restrict, or even remove, people's 2nd Amendment rights as well as a couple contained in the 1st, including said free speech if it's not the "right" speech.
To answer your question in a way. You live in Pennsylvania, historically considered one of the most corrupt states, along with Maryland and New Jersey, for voter fraud.
Constitutional scholars differ on whether the right to vote is guaranteed. Some say it is, based on the 15th Amendment guaranteeing that the right to vote can't be denied due to race or previous conditions of servitude. The other side avers that it says what it means, that you can't be denied the vote for those reasons but that there is no umbrella right guaranteeing anyone the right to vote.

So you're in favor of the same restrictions on voting as there are on the 2nd? ID, background checks, no voting for felons, no voting for someone accused of domestic violence, no voting for the mentally ill, no voting for drug users, no voting under age 21.
It's interesting how many 'voter rights' supporters see a simple ID check as violating someones rights, but have no problem restricting someones 2nd amendment rights.

It's interesting how many people are killed by another person's vote. Oh, right, no one is directly killed by the vote of a person even if they might have a mental illness, a history of domestic violence, a criminal record, etc.
False equivalency remains false.
