[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually no. The “jurisdiction” clause was meant to exclude invading military and foreign diplomats. So if an embassy employee from Japan had a kid here, they would not be giver US citizenship as they were here under the jurisdiction of the Japanese govt. Also, if British military officers who were invading the US, had a wife who had kids on US soil, they would also not be given American citizenship. So if you are here illegally, not granted parole or a court date, then you are under the jurisdiction of your home country. Hence also not given citizenship. All the Supreme Court has to do is apply the “jurisdiction” clause to exclude illegals. A simple ruling in defining the scope of that term is all you need.[/quote] The jurisdiction clause was also meant to exclude native Americans. We later passed the native citizenship act which granted them citizenship. [/quote]
