Until they BECOME citizens, they are not 'subject to the jurisdiction of the United States'. Untrue. "Subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" has a specific meaning under the law. Resident aliens are "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" legally. Diplomats aren't. That's the difference.

Resident aliens are "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" legally. Constitutionally, resident aliens are 'denizens' and are subject to the jurisdiction of the State in which they reside.
