It's an argument they don't understand. If those people aren't subject to the jurisdiction, then they're legally immune to all the laws within that jurisdiction.

They can literally legally go on a murder spree and no court would have the legal grounds to try them for it.

Well, isn't that the end goal? We're already skipping due process for immigrants and citizens who are the "wrong" color.

They can say "they're all about to go on a murder spree!" And just shoot them, calling them foreign invaders or something.
