The anchor baby loophole is a problem MAGAs hope to fix someday

It certainly is a problem and has made U.S. citizens taxed slaves to support the economic and social needs of illegal entrant foreign nationals.

We have jurisdiction over alll we survey and everything within what we survey.

If every person in the US is automatically under our jurisdiction, why would they bother putting in that "jurisdiction" line? Why not just say "every single human born in this nation is automatically given citizenship"?

It says... "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof"

Why is there an "and" in there if being born here already means youre under our jurisdiction? So first you need to be born here... AND you also must be under our jurisdiction. Those are two totally seperate requirements, clearly.

Which did not take up the question involving the offspring of illegal entrant foreign nationals, born on American soil, as being natural-born United States citizens upon birth.

There is no question. That was decided 128 years ago.
