“Alaska and Hawaii are the only two states that do not have the subject to the jurisdiction requirement for birthright citizenship.”
I do not see any support for this contention at the Cornell links.
“Subject to the jurisdiction” is in the 14th Amendment and I see no exception for Alaska and HI other than for certain Indians and natives. Those exceptions went away in 1900 in HI and in 1924 in AK. So there is no relation to Barry’s 1961 birth alleged to have been in HI.
Given all of the contemporaneous 1961 cross-corroborated documentation pointing to Hawaii as the residence of Stanley Ann in 1961 up to at least Feb.2, that seems to me to be why the birth was registered there (wherever it actually took place).
Seize, thanks for clarifying!
Read the language in the following very carefully:
Alaska: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1404
"A person born in Alaska on or after March 30, 1867, except a noncitizen Indian, is a citizen of the United States at birth."Hawaii: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1405
"A person born in Hawaii on or after April 30, 1900, is a citizen of the United States at birth."Neither of those include the "subject to the jurisdiction" requirement for birthright citizenship that applies to the rest of the country:
"The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof"
