Why are anchors considered citizens when Indians born here were not before the citizenship act? (illegals, laws)

[All American NYC]

I am curious as to why illegals who have babies on American soil their child is granted instant citizenship, but in contrast all Indians were not made citizens until 1924.
But the earliest record of Indian citizenship was the Legislature of Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1831.

The granting of citizenship was not a response to some universal petition by American Indian groups. Rather, it was a move by the federal government to absorb Indians into the mainstream of American life. No doubt Indian participation in World War I accelerated the granting of citizenship to all Indians, but it seems more likely to have been the logical extension and culmination of the assimilation policy. After all, Native Americans had demonstrated their ability to assimilate into the general military society. There were no segregated Indian units as there were for African Americans. Some members of the white society declared that the Indians had successfully passed the assimilation test during wartime, and thus they deserved the rewards of citizenship

Is there a reason for this disparity?

I would think it had something to do with the Indian Nations being nations unto themselves? I'll be watching this, as I'm curious too.

Apples and oranges.

Yeah, it was a Supreme Court screwup.

Misapplication of the 14th Amendment in order to favor a political party (Democrats) and insure a loyal voting base.

This is not apples & oranges. Its abuse of the 14th amendment by illegals & their offspring.

Why were Indians not considered citizens when they fought in most of our wars when illegals children are granted instant citizenship by breaking our laws?

[Rockmadinejad]

Illegals' children, of course, have no broken any laws necessarily.
