The only thing that matters is that Marco was born here, on US soil and thus, is subject to the jurisdiction thereof.Someone born on U.S. soil to foreign parents is subject to the jurisdiction of their parent's home country. That is what that means.

Yes, the 14th Ammendment also was written to avoid conferring citizenship on American Indians. Indians were not "subject" to US Laws, instead were governed by the laws of their various tribal nations.
American Indians were only made into US citizens circa 1980. I believe President Carter signed the law making them citizens.

Yes but they are ALSO subject to US jurisdiction presuming the parents were here legally (even if non-citizens at the time of the child’s birth).
