Why are there so many foreign nationals who were arrested, tried and convicted in the U.S. criminal justice system and who currently reside in U.S. jails and prisons?
If we can arrest you, try you, convict you and incarcerate you, you are most definitely “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and the state wherein you reside.”
“A new report released by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has confirmed some rather unsurprising suspicions—that the majority of foreign prisoners in the U.S. are from Mexico. Of the 55,000 foreign nationals currently imprisoned in U.S. detention facilities, approximately 38,500 of them are Mexican nationals. Of those imprisoned Mexican nationals, 65 percent of them are serving time for illegal immigration offenses, with the second most common offence being drug related crimes. The report shows that foreign nationals make up 25 percent of the total prison population in America and that in federal prisons; the number of foreigners in U.S. prisons has risen 7 percent since 2005. However, more surprisingly, the number of foreigners in local and state prisons has risen 35 percent during the same time period.”

A criminal act is wholly incompatible within the structure of the 14th amendment and you should know that, People like you amaze me at how you will distort and or ignore key words in a sentence in order to justify your position that lacks reason and logic. A foreign National can be DEPORTED! a US Citizen CANNOT. A US Citizen can be TRIED FOR TREASON a Foreign National CANNOT. GOT IT.
We learned this in the 60’s in the 2nd GRADE, where were you?
Sounds like a clever dodge around the rules for your side, but the Indian thing blows it completely out of the water. The fact that Indians were prosecuted and incarcerated while yet remaining non citizens though born here, demonstrates that your meaning of the term is not the one used in the 14th amendment.
Otherwise Indians would have been citizens prior to 1924.
