    If children of undocumented immigrants aren’t “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”, that means they can commit any crime they can get away with. If they get caught, the government can’t do anything to them except deport them.

    Anyone born in the US who has been jailed for a crime, forced to apply for a driver’s license, or forced to pay at least one cent of income tax is “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”.

      They would love and I mean LOVE legal precedent saying undocumented immigrants weren’t subject to US jurisdiction. Having them be literal Outlaws that can just be killed on sight because they are not protected by law anymore.
