In the law, domicile means the place at which a person intends to permanently live. The residence is a place at which the person is currently living.

For instance, then, if your son or daughter was away at school out of state and intended to return home upon graduation, they would be domiciled in his home state but their residence would be in the state in which he was attending school.

While I admit that the different sources that the author chose are somewhat sloppy in distinguishing between domicile and residence, it is still largely irrelevant; most illegal aliens, I would imagine, come across the border fully intending to stay in the United States permanently; thus, any place in which they are living would be considered their domicile.

Moreover, that argument is sort of missing the forest for the trees, don't you think? This is the best that the author of the essay can come up with? Blatantly wrong citations? Misleading the reader?

I provided you with the definitions of these words that the Encyclopedia Britannica states are used "IN LAW" for the purposes of judicial jurisdiction and government burden and benefits.

Where do you get your definitions?

Please source them.

My son or daughter were born to U.S. citizens LEGALLY residing in the United States.

Comparing what it is legal for them to do with what illegal aliens are doing is comparing apples to oranges, IMHO.

Wouldn't you agree?
