“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”

Beginning in 1924 the above language applied to ALL states INCLUDING Alaska and Hawaii, which would include Barry in 1961 IF Barry was born in HI.

Barry is not a member of the HI natives that were excluded from the 14A prior to 1900, nor is he a member of an AK Indian tribe that was excluded until 1924.

You are incorrectly reading the above Cornell language as applying to all states EXCEPT HI and AK. This is incorrect. The above Cornell language applies and applied ever since adoption of the 14A to ALL “persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” without exception in all states.

Between 1898 and 1900 HI natives were NOT subject to the jurisdiction, and between 1867 and 1924 certain AK Indians were NOT subject to the jurisdiction.

Rides3 is actually read the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act. At the time it was written both Alaska (Section 304) and Hawaii (Section 305) were territories.

The 1965 amendments to the 1952 act didn’t make any changes to the language of those sections.
