and then there is this...

The Trump administration’s legal argument seems to hinge on the idea that children who are born in America to parents who are here unlawfully or on temporary status are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. What do you make of that argument?
Okay, if that were literally true, then they couldn’t be deported, right? In other words, the ordinary way in which everybody understands “subject to the jurisdiction” is you’re subject to the law and legal authority. And everybody agrees if you’re here illegally, you’re subject to the law. You can be deported. So, what are they trying to say? They’re trying to say, “Well, it doesn’t really mean that.” It means something else, which somehow means something about whether your parents are here legally or not. So, that’s the part where it kind of falls down.*
