I think you may need to read the 14th Amendment to understand what is being discussed.

Then thats what has to happen at this point so we save this place since we are in the 4th turning

You use the same logic for illegals to arm up. It will be just like the fall of rome

You're the only one allowed to make this argument sincerely (like with big spending policies).

Was he subject to the jurisdiction of US law before being taken into custody? Don't spazz out and answer that without thinking.

He’s just a lawyer. Words have no meaning to them except the meaning that helps their case.

For a hundred years, that was how it stood, with only one case adding the caveat that children born to LEGAL permanent residents of the U.S., gainfully employed, and who were not employed by a foreign government would also be deemed citizens under the 14th Amendment. (United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 1898.)

Yes, or else he couldn't be taken into custody.

There are only 2 classes of people not subject to the jurisdiction of the US, and only one is relevant after Wong Kim Ark (diplomats).

Using the term "Legal" is an anachronism being inserted via dishonest argument, which isn't shocking considering how they ignore the text of the case itself.

Individuals can be taken into custody. Jurisdiction is based on the court's reach.

If the court has no jurisdiction, there is no power to hold you.

If he was able to be prosecuted by that court, he was subject to the jurisdiction of that state and however they break up their state jurisdictions (county, district, etc.).

We're not talking about deportations. We're talking criminal prosecutions.

Wong Kim got blown to shite a long time ago in this context. Cry all you want - 14th Amendment does not give citizenship to the babies of invaders. Wong Kim doesn't help the case. Nothing does. The meaning of the 14th is very clear and the only argument ever put forward to extend that citizenship was a footnote which means nothing. You have no tenable position here.

You are correct.

That's exactly why we have a constitution that limits the immediate will of the people (this is both the federalist and republic v. democracy debates)

There are two classes of diplomats though. With two different levels of immunity. If the 14th says that diplomats aren't subject to our laws, then why are some diplomats only immune when acting on official duties? Why aren't they given blanket immunity?

This is a nonsensical answer.

Can a foreign spy be taken into custody? Yes. Are they “subject to the jurisdiction” even in your asinine interpretation? No.

Now, the real question is what did the people who authored the amendment mean when they said “subject to jurisdiction.” If it just means subject to law, how did Native Americans draw the short straw?

I removed my post and you still had it quoted

I don't even know what the hell you are arguing at this point.

People that illegally cross into America can and are prosecuted and can be deported.

It did not.

You're out of your depth here. You post from the same sources every time.

"Subject to the jurisdiction of" is very clear, yes, and the only modern application where this doesn't apply is diplomats.

WKA goes into great detail, in the case itself, what "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means. That ruling has been upheld for 130-ish years with no real dispute.

How does allowing illegal immigrants into our country benefit the American tax paying citizen?

Answer me that. Please.

The 14th doesn't say this, just to be clear. The 14th was just written around the meaning of what being a diplomat implied, legally, regarding jurisdiction.
