In Slaughter-House Cases (1872) and Elk v. Wilkins (1884), the Supreme Court affirmed the framers’ originally intended meaning of “jurisdiction”. In both cases, a child born on U.S. soil, of a foreign-citizen father, is not subject to U.S. jurisdiction at birth. Such a child is subject to the jurisdiction of the foreign government to which the child’s father owes allegiance. Consequently, such a child is not a 14th Amendment citizen at birth
Thanks. Unless she went through the process of obtaining U.S. citizenship, I am skeptical that she is in fact a citizen. In theory, due to her admission of past criminal possession and use of ganja, she should be eligible for deportation.
