Federal district court judge temporarily blocks Trump's birthright citizenship order
The 14th Amendment states:
“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.”
To quote from the article:
“Ample historical evidence shows that the children of non-resident aliens are subject to foreign powers — and, thus, are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and are not constitutionally entitled to birthright citizenship,” Rosenberg wrote.
If they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US, how can they be arrested and removed? Aren't those actions subjecting them to the jurisdiction of the US?
Except for diplomats, people in the US are not subject to the jurisdiction of foreign powers.
