All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Children born of illegal alien foreign nationals in the United States are foreign nationals.

Their parents are subject to the jurisdiction of Mexico. That's why we jettison them back to Mexico.

They are not subject to the laws of our nation other than to be deported or arrested for crimes, and if you want to disagree with that, just ask the government of Mexico if they are subject to our laws.

Mexico screams bloody murder every time we put one of it's favorite sons or daughters on death row. It says we have no right to do that.

Once a foreign national becomes a citizen, they are then "subject to the jurisdiction thereof".

We have a set policy that has to be followed for foreign nationals to become "subject to the jurisdiction thereof".

Illegal aliens have not complied with that policy.

"Children born of illegal alien foreign nationals in the United States are foreign nationals."

Children born in the US are US citizens. We might prefer that they weren't, but the question isn't, what would we prefer? The question is, what is the law?

"Their parents are subject to the jurisdiction of Mexico. That's why we jettison them back to Mexico."

That's a misunderstanding of "jurisdiction". If they are on US soil they are in our jurisdiction, not Mexico's.

"They are not subject to the laws of our nation other than to be deported or arrested for crimes..."

That's absurd. An illegal alien is subject all of our laws, just like anyone else. They can be charged with crimes just like a citizen or legal resident, and have been many times.

"Mexico screams bloody murder every time we put one of it's favorite sons or daughters on death row. It says we have no right to do that."

That's got nothing to do with jurisdiction. It's got to do with the death penalty.

"Once a foreign national becomes a citizen, they are then "subject to the jurisdiction thereof".

No. As I've said, that's not what jurisdiction means. Jurisdiction means that the laws applies to you. Our laws apply to everyone on our soil, whether one has legal status or not. The only exceptions are those with diplomatic immunity.
