Another comic showing the ignorance of the cartoonist. The meaning of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” was clearly established in the Congressional Record when the 1866 Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment (Both have identical wording except four words about Indians) were passed as well by SCOTUS in the Slaughterhouse cases. A baby born in the US who has two Mexican citizens for parents is subject to the jurisdiction of Mexico at birth and is a Mexican citizen at birth, not an American citizen
