No, that's completely wrong. Let's dig in.https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1057275904240615424 …

So again I’ll ask if they are under the jurisdiction of the US can that person be called for jury duty or the draft. I’m not trying to change anything just trying to learn the meaning of under the jurisdiction of.
Let's try it this way: Did you ever see Lethal Weapon 2? Remember when the South African bad guys insist they can't be arrested because they have "diplomatic immunity"? They're saying that as staff of the embassy, they are not subject to the jurisdiction of American laws.
Now, an ordinary visitor from South Africa here as a tourist would *not* have been able to claim that. They could've been stopped by US law enforcement for speeding, or robbery, or -- in the case of Lethal Weapon 2 -- orchestrating an international drug smuggling operation.
Now, imagine the guys in Lethal Weapon 2 gave birth to a kid here. That kid would not be granted birthright citizenship, because those people who aren't subject to the jurisdiction of our laws don't also get the benefits of birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment.
But the South African tourist, if she gave birth to a kid here, that kid *would* be granted birthright citizenship. None of the South Africans -- diplomats or tourists -- would be subject to the draft or jury duty or anything like that. We're just talking about their kids.
I should end by noting that I am not a lawyer and not a constitutional expert, so I'll defer to Professor Epps on that. But I have seen Lethal Weapon 2 several times.
I’ve seen all the lethal weapons and am neither a scholar or a judicial expert. Just a thinker trying to understand the meaning of jurisdiction in the Constitution so as to be able to understand better this national debate. Thanks for your input I appreciate it.
An alien follows all the laws and doesn’t break any. Do they automatically fall under our jurisdiction or are they still under their home countries. If they break a law they are under the jurisdiction of our laws but if not what makes them under our governments jury.
