Jurisdiction in regards to criminal activity is not the same as jurisdiction in regards to automatic birth citizenship.

If I am from Mongolia and travel to Texas to commit a crime, the cops aren’t going to call the Mongolia state police to charge me. They don’t care where I come from, nor my immigration status. They only care that I broke the law in their locality. So are they going to tell me that since I am in their custody (awaiting trial) I can give birth citizenship? It makes no sense and destroys the whole notion of citizenship.

Next, you’ll say that since humans are citizens of the world they are also therefor citizens off the planet earth so can claim to be citizens of ANY country.

“Jurisdiction in regards to criminal activity is not the same as jurisdiction in regards to automatic birth citizenship.”

Says you. You’ve yet to show anything that says there is some other meaning of “jurisdiction” as it appears in the 14th amendment. Until you can do that, I am going to continue to operate under the assumption that the word has the same meaning it always has elsewhere:

“The power and authority constitutionally conferred upon (or constitutionally recognized as existing in) a court or judge to pronounce the sentence of the law, or to award the remedies provided by law, upon a state of facts, proved or ad- mitted, referred to the tribunal for decision, and authorized by law to be the subject of investigation or action by that tribunal, and in favor of or against persons (or a res) who present themselves, or who are brought, before the court in some manner sanctioned by law as proper and sufficient.”

“So are they going to tell me that since I am in their custody (awaiting trial) I can give birth citizenship?”

It’s irrelevant what they may or may not tell you, because the laws of Mongolia are also irrelevant to the laws of the United States.

“Next, you’ll say that since humans are citizens of the world they are also therefor citizens off the planet earth so can claim to be citizens of ANY country.”

No, I’m sorry, but you are the one who has twice brought up the laws of other countries instead of sticking to the topic at hand. Not me.
