I think you just made my point. People who aren’t citizens can be “hung, jailed and fined” because they are under the jurisdiction of U.S. law.

With reference to “conscripted,” we have an all-volunteer military, however:
on the other hand, You must register with the Selective Service System, if:

You’re a lawful permanent resident (LPR) in the US, that is, you have a “green card”
You entered the US without going through the proper procedures with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In other words, you’re an “undocumented immigrant” or “illegal alien.” Sometimes this is referred to as “entering without inspection” (EWI)
You’re in the U.S. on a temporary non-immigrant visa, like a visitor’s visa, and you fail to maintain legal status for more than 30 days, such as by not renewing your visa
You’re in the U.S. on a student visa and you fail to maintain full-time student status
You entered the U.S. under the visa waiver program (VWP), which allows certain foreign nationals to enter the U.S. without a visa, and you stayed beyond the 90 days allowed under the VWP
You’ve been granted refugee status or asylum in the US, which means, generally, you’re in the U.S. because it’s unsafe for you in your homeland
You’re working in the U.S. as a special seasonal agricultural worker
You came to the U.S. under a valid non-immigrant visa but your Form I-94, which sets out the details of when you entered the U.S. and when you must leave, has been expired for more than 30 days.

We're not going to do the dipsy doodle here. We are specifically referring to people born *IN* the United States, who's legal status was "NON CITIZEN", but yet who were still "subject to the jurisdiction" of our laws.

The salient aspect of this is that the "jurisdiction" of our criminal laws is not the same "jurisdiction" referred to in the 14th amendment, else being subject to these criminal laws would make Citizens of Indians born here.

If being Subject to Criminal laws in the United States doesn't make Citizens out of Indians, it also doesn't make citizens out of foreign Indians.
