Agreed.
Citizenship for the new born of illegal entrants was intitally based on a throw-away comment that appeared in a dissent (cite not at my fingertips).
Even the ambassador of Ireland was subject to the jurisdiction until the U.S. decided to grant him immunity. Obviously, everyone not specifically granted immunity is said to be subject to the jurisdiction. The most sensible interpretation is that "subject to the jurisdiction" did not mean subject to the obvious, but was clearly intended to mean subject to the "sole" jurisdiction.
Folks should not believe for a moment that illegal entrants are subject to the sole jusridiction of the U.S. If so, how is it the native country of an illegal entrant accepts them back when we deport them?
I agree. In fact, if illegal aliens are subject to the sole jurisdiction of the United States, how can our government legally deport them? Our government can't deport American citizens, as they are subject to the sole jurisdiction of the United States.
