........People don’t want to believe that the kid of two illegal aliens who was spawned here is just as much as a US citizen as they are. I understand its insane but that’s what the courts have handed down. I hard a hard time believing it at first.......
don’t agree, if parents were legal immigrants yes i don’t recall any case saying children of illegal citizens are us citizens..just policy.
WHAT IS SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE US MEAN?
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.

I believe its related to the 14 amendment (I could be wrong on the number) which provided citizenship to freed slaves. It was written broadly and ended up including anyone born here with a few exceptions.
NOTE: This issue has never been reviewed by the supreme court. Nobody wants to open that can of worms.
