Nope still wrong! Kamala and her parents were not subject to the jurisdiction of the US. You are only subject to the jurisdiction of the US if you are a citizen. Indeed, Kamala and her parents were subject to the laws of the US just as we are when we travel to foreign countries. However, in that case, as citizens of the US and subject to its jurisdiction, we can appeal to the US consulate/embassy for assistance and protection. Kamala and her parents were subject to the jurisdiction of the country of which they were citizens. If they had difficulties of any kind here, they could appeal to their own country, the country of jurisdiction, for assistance.

The easiest way to understand this is simply this: If you are a citizen, then you are subject to the jurisdiction of the US. If you are not a citizen then you are not. (There may be some exceptions for legal residents in the process of obtaining citizenship. I’m not sure about that.)

Completely false. There are plenty of illegal aliens in jail.
