All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

If you’re born in the US, or naturalized, you’re a citizen.

“Subject to jurisdictions” is mostly redundant, but a legalize clarification to make sure that if any jurisdictions of the United States pretty much counts, or in other words, ‘don’t try to exclude certain jurisdictions under this umbrella’

Your interpretation disagrees with the author of the amendment, who stated it was not intended to apply to illegal aliens.

You are dead wrong. The author said what he meant, and it was NOT for people here illegally to confer citizenship upon their children. Frankly, anyone who knows and ignores the history of this amendment is a propagandist for anarchy.

a child born to parents who have not surrendered citizenship in another country or applied to the US for American citizenship are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US

Dual citizenship is a liberal construct
