The section of the 14th “subject to the jurisdiction thereof ...” is ignored and rules out interlopers and illegals. Or was intended to.

Do you mean that you agree with me that if a person is here illegally, or as a foreign student on visa, or as a foreign tourist visiting the US... any children born here of them are not meant to be US citizens by our Constitution?

It is my opinion, the words “subject to US jurisdiction” keeps those born here under these circumstances from being recognized as US citizens.

None of the people above are subject to our jurisdiction for the purposes of extending citizenship. They are only temporarily subject during their stay. Then only to obeying our laws while here. Unless, they seek a legal way to remain here and become citizens, they are not subjecting themselves to US jurisdiction.
