You're leaving out the second clause: "AND SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF". If you had actually read Wong Van Ark, you would understand that the holding in that case addressed the U.S. born child of 2 Chinese alien parents who were LEGALLY present in the U.S. The issue of whether or not the U.S. born child of 2 ILLEGAL ALIENS would also automatically have citizenship was not before the court.

So marco, you're telling us that illegal aliens are not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" the laws of the USA while physically in the USA? I think that's news to all of us.
