“The crux of the 14th does NOT rest in the word born, it rest in the phrase ‘subject to the jurisdiction’. But I wouldn’t expect ignorant drones who claim to be some sort of DR to know that since they obviously haven’t spent a minutia of a minute in the history books studying the subject.”

Anyone who thinks legal and illegal foreigners aren’t subject to U.S. laws obviously doesn’t have the comprehension skills necessary to understand a history book. Or any book, really.

Anyone who thinks...blah, blah, blah

You tuble are beyond help because if as you say, “subject to the jurisdiction” means merely soil, there wouldn't have even been a need to put in the 14th. Even Obama says “words have meaning” & where the law is concerned, redundancy is frowned upon. If soil was the main factor in determining citizenship of those born in the US regardless of parentage, then the 14th would have read:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States”
