Only aliens (legal or illegal) who have official diplomatic immunity aren’t “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
We prosecute illegal aliens for crimes committed in the US. They are subject to state and federal jurisdiction. Deportation of illegals is a jurisdictional issue since its illegal to be in the US without a visa (or a MasterCard! ;-)
