Diplomats, as a consequence of the lack of jurisdiction Mr. Tancredo would extend to aliens, cannot be arrested or charged with crimes.

Then any of their children born here are NOT US citizens?

"How does Mr. Tancredo propose to get around this language?"

I thought that was in the Constitution somewhere. Takes an amendment. Do-able, IMHO.

I think that that's the way it works.My understanding is that "diplomatic immunity" is a concept agreed upon through treaties as the result of some of the things that governments used to do to foreign diplomats.
