No, there is a second clause, "and subject to the jurisdiction of," which needs to be defined.
Where two clauses are separated by the word "and" they mean different things. So there must be a meaning to jurisdiction aside from just being born here. The law assumes a second clause is necessary, not simply saying the exact same thing in a different way.
The Ark case clearly dealt with only children born here of non citizens in the country legally.
So the issue of automatic citizenship for children born here of non citizens here illegally still needs to be addressed.
Doesn't mean trump will win. It only takes four votes to get Supreme Court to hear a case. So Alito, Scalia, and two of the three libs would be enough or any other combo.
