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.
So the only way we can preserve our country is to refuse all female visitors because they could have a baby? And all visas should contain a warning that if you give birth while visiting France, your child is french and could be refused entrance into the US. The only way we can protect ourselves is to refuse entrance to any child bearing age woman. That's simply weird.
In France citizenship is obtained by 3 different ways:
All the above will grant you french citizenship and allows you to become president.
If both parents were not French gave birth in france the child WON’T become a french citizen. The child must reside for at least 5 years and be 18 years old when applying. Europe has different laws than USA, you can become resident and get government benefits even if you were not a french citizen, you just need to be in the country LEGALLY.
So, France is allowed to control who gets in but we get to have hotels that cater to Chinese pregnant women? Drug lords get to send their pregnant girl friends across our border to gain legal access via their US citizen child? Please consider what your claims do to this country and the absolute dichotomy with other country's right to sovereignty and we have NONE. Explain, please, how this is logical or fair? Just get into an American school. Have a child while on a student visa and viola! You are in.
Absurd. Illogical and beyond unfair. George Washington was soooo right when he admonished us to stay out of foreign entanglements. This needs to go through the courts and if the courts vote against US citizens, we need a constitutional amendment. I believe such an amendment would pass and be ratified by the states. This invasion is a last straw.
