Trump said anyone one born to illegal immigrants. If the immigration was legal then the baby born will be a US citizen.
Kammel"s parents were students. Not immigrants. I was thinking illegal to include temporary visas.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.
subject to the jurisdiction means subject to the laws of the country. Someone on a tourist or student visa is still subject to the laws of the USA because they can be arrested and prosecuted for breaking the law then deported after serving their sentences.
Only diplomats “Under Diplomatic Immunity” And invaders are not subject to the jurisdiction. illegal immigrants fall under the invaders category.
That's quite a stretch. Why would the framers put subject to the laws of that country when it's common sense that if you're visiting any country you are subject to their laws while you're visiting except for things like tax law. If a Frenchman were visiting he is still a citizen of France, thus subject to French law. If France wanted him returned for breaking French law like tax evasion, he'd be returned.
A person is subject of the jurisdiction he’s currently in unless he’s a diplomat or an invader.
It has nothing to do with citizenship.
If that frenchman is not a diplomat and committed a crime while visiting the USA he’s subject to the jurisdiction of the USA. If France wanted him the USA will send him to France because they have an extradition treaty that’s it.
If he was a Chinaman he’s subject of the jurisdiction he’s in (USA), even if china wanted him USA will not send him to China because they don’t have an extradition treaty.
they became naturalized
After she was born.
can you sauce that? there seems to be muck confusion, and much deboonking
As of 2016, legal and constitutional scholars generally agree that natural born citizens include people born in the United States, as well as those born outside the country who meet certain requirements at birth. These requirements include being the child of a U.S. citizen parent or being adopted by U.S. citizen parents before age 18. HIGHLIGHT CHILD OF A US Citizen Parent
