Once again, you have to read the whole sentence.

Words mean things in laws.

See Post 25, where the "and subject to the jurisdiction of" thingy rears it's little head again.

If you are a national of another country, and not a lawful immigrant alien, then you are just that: a national of another country. Your child inherits your nationality, regardless of where he is born. The fact that you walked in and decided to have a kid doesn't mean anything to the locals. You don't choose who is "them", they do.

Anything else is just tyranny!

I hope you’re right, friend.

I claim no expertise, but I’m not sure how a foreign visitor can be subject to our laws (stealing, speeding, etc.), but not be under our jusisdiction.

Are you saying that a German citizen who commits a crime by coming to the US illegally is not subject to US jusisdiction under the law?
