President Trump referred to the citizenship clause in the Constitution as a “crazy policy,” telling a rapt crowd that “illegal immigrants are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.” (Legal experts would widely disagree.) https://t.co/GAd4rYn0HU

To say that “illegal immigrants are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” is just drivel. Were that true, then the government wouldn’t be able to arrest them. Surely that’s not the President’s position. Clearly he has no comprehension of the words he’s using. https://t.co/LYlutDG73M

This. Waiting for the lawyers representing the immigrants apprehended at the border to file motions to dismiss because, after all, they can’t be guilty of criminal trespass if they aren’t subject to our laws 🙄 https://t.co/8LbjF06kah
