Do you really want to write into the law that illegals aren't subject to the jurisdiction of the United States? Open the jail doors ...

They are within the jurisdiction, but are not American subjects. Get clear on the terms before constructing a virtual strawman.

There is not, and has never been, such a thing as an "American subject." You might want to "get clear on the terms" before advising others to do so.

before constructing a virtual strawman.

Post 70:I don't believe it takes an Amendment to get rid of the illegals-born-into-citizenship problem. See, the 14th also contains the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof", something that could be established does not apply to those who criminally invade our country (and the spawn thereof).

The notion that illegals are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US isn't something I proposed; it's what I was responding to. And it would be a more dangerous idea if it weren't flagrantly silly.
