Where does it say "jurisdiction" only refers to criminal law? Diplomats aren't excluded from being subject to civil laws for "commercial activities," and U.S. courts have jurisdiction over diplomats in suits pertaining to such activities.

This then seems like an argument that the children of diplomats should be US citizens, not an argument against naturalized birth for immigrants.
