The point he made was that illegal immigrants are indeed subject to the laws of the country. If an illegal robs a bank and gets caught, he will be arrested and prosecuted. Therefore, the Judge concludes, they’re subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

That is a stupid argument. Illegals can't be drafted, called to jury duty and can be deported. Foreign spies can be arrested and imprisoned or executed but that doesn't make them citizens.

Napolitano frequently doesn't know what he's talking about, and neither do you if you agree with him.

Very good points.

It is jurisdiction in political sense, as in who is your sovereign from which you hold citizenship or at least the legal right of residence somewhere.

A visitor from a foreign nation is not even disputing that their home nation has the jurisdiction as to their citizenship, and an illegal is denying that U.S. law can even question the right to determine their’s. The former has the jurisdiction question settled by their recognized citizenship and the latter denies any application of the question to them - as though they are above the law.

I don’t agree with judge nap. Please read before spewing.
