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.

Well Howard Jacob left the phrase vague, giving an opening to the modern day liberals.
The second amendment has clear language saying that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed.
