Here's the Dark Plan a Bigoted Trump Ally Is Pushing to Change the Meaning of American Citizenship | Alternet: He notes that the 14th Amendment defines citizenship: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”
The plain text seems to support the birthright citizenship practice. If you’re born under the United States an under its laws, then you’re a citizen.
But Anton argues, citing legislative debates by the drafters of 14th Amendment, that the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is actually supposed to mean “not owing allegiance to anyone else."
