What the 14th Amendment, Section 1 actually says...

[bucolic_frolic]

2. "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States thereof"

so whiny can try to make an argument that they are citizens, born or naturalized (a process of applying for citizenship and renouncing all foreign allegiances), but they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US because ........... _________________.

Fill in the blank. I cannot imagine this holding water either. It would have to be some quality they have such as ..... what? being brown, in debt, criminals? Is that where he's headed? You sure are subject to the jurisdiction of the US if you're been processed through the court system.

The whole argument makes no sense. I vote with the OP.
