Since foreign governments argue that their citizens in our country are subject to their jurisdiction and not ours, it is reasonable to treat illegals and their anchor babies as “not subject to the jurisdiction thereof” and thus not citizens.

It is self-proving. The parent is illegal so the begotten child is illegal. Everyone glosses over the “subject to the jurisdiction” part. Everyone knows they are citizens of the country they came from and subject to that country's jurisdiction. Just because they illegally crashed our border does not mean they are subject to U.S. jurisdiction and the child somehow magically becomes a citizen by being born here. If they are subject to U.S. jurisdiction, then what is the need for the having a metricula document from Mexico? It is just another stupid document to confuse the matter. It is all a big scam, a ridiculous proposition, foisted on this country by corrupt courts and politicians. Another separate but related phony proposition is that states have NO jurisdiction over any immigration issues. Look what they are doing to Joe Arpaio and the runaway Arizona illegal alien mess.
It is a scam & a mess.
Jurisdiction is when a court can make a decision with regard to a particular case or circumstance. There’s nothing about it inferring rights or obligations by the court or whatever that ‘’has jurisdiction’’. Jurisdiction doesn’t imply that the person is entitled to a birth certificate or other documentation- especially if they don’t meet the legal requirements for obtaining that documentation.
Unless I’m misunderstanding this, a court can make a decision whether a person has proper ID, committed a crime, or is in the country legally or illegally, based on the laws in that ‘’jurisdiction’’- what that court has authority to adjudicate/ decide. A person is subject to the laws of where they are no matter where they came from.
I think the confusion might come in because of 0bama trying to say that the court has no authority/ jurisdiction. According to him, the illegal is free to do whatever he wants & no one can tell him otherwise.
