Wrong. It is possible to be born here and "not subject to the jurisdiction thereof".

Yes. If you were born to an ambassador or other diplomat, or, at the time, to an Indian. Then you were not subject to the jurisdiction thereof. Otherwise, you were indeed subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

They weren't just talking about the children of Ambassadors, for example.

Again, there is no conjunction anywhere in that phrase. The "foreigners, aliens" being referred to were those children born to ambassadors and other diplomats.

More nonsense.

Representative Sargent (of California) made those remarks within the context of the Naturalization Act of 1870. He was talking about immigrants from foreign countries; -because that it who the legislation would apply to.
