If children of illegal immigrants are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, can they be tried in an American court?

Those who are born to an alien parent whose country has a nationality law that automatically makes them a citizen/subject of the alien parent's country are not subject to the complete jurisdiction of the U.S. and are therefore NOT born U.S. citizens.

U.S. Secretaries of State have been quite explicit about that.

RE: Those who are born to an alien parent whose country has a nationality law that automatically makes them a citizen/subject of the alien parent’s country are not subject to the complete jurisdiction of the U.S. and are therefore NOT born U.S. citizens.

OK here’s a question for you -— I don’t believe that either Bobby Jindal OR Marco Rubio, when they were born had parents who were citizens of the United States. In Jindal’s case, his father was a foreign student. In Rubio’s case, his parents were refugees from Cuba.

And I don’t think they went through the process of naturalization either ( where permanent residents SPECIFICALLY apply for US citizenship ).

Since their parents were NOT citizens at the time of their birth, were they US citizens when they were born?

If not, what makes them citizens of the US now?
