In fact, the congressmen have stated that the clause "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof," has been MISINTERPRETED to apply to any person born in the U.S. automatically becomes a U.S. citizen; however, they claim that when this was written, its intention was to assure that citizenship is bestowed only upon those people within whom U.S. JURISIDCTION resides....Specifically, I read that these words were put into place so that children born of people NOT UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE U.S., i.e., foreign diplomats, were NOT and could not be US citizens.....as the infant's parents WERE NOT UNDER U.S. JURISDICTION.

If the infants parents were NOT under US jurisdiction, how then can you deport them or have any legal right to tell them what they can or can not do. Of course they under US jurisdiction. The fact that you think this is misinterpreted means nothing as long as the Supreme Court disagrees with you.

If the infant's parents have no right be within the U.S., then they can be deported....because, otherwise, they are within the United States of America at this country's pleasure/will.
