The crime is done in the US and should be bound by the sovereign nation in which the crimes have been committed. Therefore the US should have jurisdiction over the 'non-resident' despite their 'home' country and they should be subject to the rules of the country in which they committed the crime.

Of course.
Those protections are about basic human rights. Innocent until proven guilty, you know? Who decides, how, what crime?
How would you like to travel to another country, and find that you had no local legal protections, just 'cause you are foreign? Eh?
Think about it, before you casually talk about denying to others rights you yourself don't even appreciate ... you, too, are an "other", to someone.

Like which ones. They should basically be sent back to their country as far as I am concerned and be punished there. Yeah if we are going to treat them as a criminal here they should be given the same treatment as anyone else in the legal system. Although if they are here illegally I say send them home.

Yes, but only that. Not diplomatic immunity for the families and friends of diplomats.
