"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors, or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."
Then why didn't Senator Howard Jacob include that language in the 14th amendment.
It's the first sentence of the 14th amendment that matters, not Howard Jacob's personal comments.
In 1866 the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was a given that they knew what it meant. It involved allegiance to the country, not simply an individual's presence. If the USSC interprets the amendment as it was intended they will uphold any statute Congress passes denying automatic citizenship to illegal aliens.
