hmmmm wonder why Italians born to immigrants in NY in 1930 were not citizens till their parents were naturalized?I don't know. The Constitution seems pretty clear: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

This was written to deal with native americans. Not Mexican nationals.

Too bad this was meant to deal with the slaves brought to this country, against their will. It had nothing to do with immigration. And it was commonly known that it did not in the '30's. If it was intended in this way, it would have been applied this way from the beginning.
