I am not convinced that the term “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is equivalent to “having both (or one) feet inside the border thereof”.
This would be a superfluous clause as the state “having both (or one) foot inside the border thereof” is covered by the prior “All persons born or naturalized in the United States.”

This is a different statement of some of the opinions already posted.

One for the SCOTUS. Stay tuned.

LOL! I'm SURE that's what they meant when they said "and of the State wherein they reside."
