The 14th Amendment does not say that all persons born in the United States are citizens. period. end of story. If we look at the precise language. it is very instructive. It states that citizenship extends to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof." That latter phrase-"and subject to the jurisdiction thereof"-was included because it means something. and its original meaning clearly refers to the political allegiance of an individual and the jurisdiction that a foreign government has over that person. That is exactly why American Indians and their children were not immediately recognized as U.S. citizens simply because of their birth in this country. There was actually litigation about that going directly to this language of the 14th Amendment.
