Regarding your Footnote 1, it is also the case that “not subject to the jurisdiction of” was in 1868, and remains today, an unambiguous legal term of art meaning only three things: (1) diplomats, (2) prisoners of war, (3) Indians on tribal lands.
Any and every attempt to suggest that illegal aliens (and therefore their born-here children) are “not subject to the jurisdiction of” the United States is ignorant and insolent sophistry.
I give Paul credit for ackowledging that a constitutional amendment would in fact be necessary (though not for his bigoted advocacy of such an amendment).
Those who try to pretend that the Constitution should be interpreted to mean the exact opposite of its plain text should stick to Kelo-style atrocities. (/sarcasm)
