Unless you were snuffed out on federal land, I think state law would reign in this situation, and the states can have jurisdiction over you just by being on their territory. In fact, I seem to remember a time when you could be a citizen of a state, but not of the United States, to further complicate matters.

Go on, take that theory just the tiniest little step further logically.

So you take that step, is that illegal immigrant a citizen now because they killed someone?

No. But they are certainly under our jurisdiction. They will be arrested, tried, and convicted accordingly.

If pregnant, their child, having been born in the US and under its jurisdiction, will be a citizen when born in prison.

They will not be sent home PNG like an ambassador.

Your entry in the Illinois sex offender registry.

Charles Bocock, attempted child rapist, caught with hard drives full of child sex abuse imagery.

Not sure if his status as sex offender is relevant in this discussion but it’s funny to see the stereotype in action.

The stereotype that leftists are child groomers? He's clearly a left-wing commenter.
