Illegal Aliens don't believe they are subject to our jurisdiction and may come here when ever and how ever they please, therefore their prodigy should not be granted citizenship.
What they "believe" is not the issue. Plenty of Americans believe that the law does not apply to them, and they are equally wrong.
Illegals are subject to our laws, including the laws they broke to enter our country. That's how we can punish them (that we don't punish them enough notwithstanding). That passage was meant to refer to diplomats and others who by virtue of their position are truly above most laws.
I agree that it has been too-widely defined, but that is because the language itself is not sufficiently specific. The proper response to such a deficiency in the wording of the law is to change the law, as I have advocated in the past.
It is important that we follow the law, even when dealing with the lawless.
Her son was allowed to speak before the Mexican Congress to plead her case, when he did so it was as a Mexican citizen pleading for the rights of his mother as a Mexican citizen.
They cannot have it both ways. Send him home to be with his mother. Send him to Mexico.
One can simultaneously be a citizen of the US and the citizen of Mexico. Our government recognizes dual citizenship. We can argue that it shouldn't be allowed, but that's another subject altogether.
We must also make sure that anyone who commits a crime (including the crime of breaking into the country) is forever banned from citizenship. Her son is a US citizen under our laws, so if he has a guardian here he should be allowed to stay. But his mother is not, and will never be, welcome in our nation.
So if she breaks the law then she can expect to be under our jurisdiction and therefore Her son should be a citizen?
Isn’t that a little like saying if she robs a bank and puts the money in an account under her sons name she can profit from her bank robbery?
You should not be able to have your children profit or be rewarded for your illegal actions, that is pretty much a standard for most of our laws. Criminals don’t get to use fake ID’s and social security numbers to live a life free from our jurisdiction or to protect their children from our laws.
