And, the Indians "lost" a little more recently than 500 years ago, considering that some "informed" folks here consider Indian tribes to be "foreign powers." Here's a link to a brief history of some of the "Indian Wars"... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Indian_Wars
Hey, thanks for that good wikipedia link. No doubt I'll learn something.
I do like your point on foreign invaders, though. Keep in mind that the Navajo and Apache are from a third wave of immigration into North America, so they obviously are foreign invaders.
For that matter 'native' Japanese are not indigenous.
That's a pretty zany interpretation of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." Care to offer any statutes and cases that back it up?
The U.S. Constitution says otherwise.
The Supreme Court ruled on it, which was their INTERPRETATION of what they felt that the Const. meant. Different SCOTUSEs are constantly reevaluating and reinterpreting. Their rulings don't stay static forever, although they would give some precedence to an existing ruling. If given to a conservative majority, perhaps the anchor law could change?

Actually, the US never had an indigenous population. All migrated here from elsewhere.
Illegal aliens are foreign invaders. They can be held and deported from the US for nothing other than their illegal presence in the US. Foreign invaders' children are not US citizens.
Nope. Illegal aliens are foreign invaders. That's why they can be detained and deported for nothing other than being illegally present in this country.
History shows that some "foreign invaders" and their descendants never leave. A little over 170 years ago, the U.S. military invaded the Mexican territory of Alta California and never left. When a foreign military force invades and occupies U.S. territory -- those are "foreign invaders." Mere "unauthorized migrants" don't rise to the level of an occupying military force and are no more "foreign invaders" than you or I. However, I agree that "unauthorized migrants" can be detained and deported if they are found to be "illegally" present.

Unless there's something new, like legislation that explicitly outlaws "birthright citizenship" for the offspring of "unauthorized migrants," there's little need for SCOTUS to revisit the issue.
I wish they would just float the idea of stripping citizenship for those under 21, just float it in an official capacity. I salivate at what would happen.

Spain did that it what's now Mexico, I'm sure different Indian tribes did that kind of stuff to each other as well. What you're talking about is WAR.

No mention was made of "indigenous" or "native," just the cut-off year of 1492. Unfortunately, many folks in this particular forum like to deny the aboriginal peoples of the Americas their indigeneity, despite a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress that affirms it and apologizes for some of the past policies of the Federal Government… https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-...lution/14/text
For aboriginal peoples of a particular locale, all subsequent arrivals are "foreign invaders."

Apparently, you've forgotten about 8 U.S. Code § 1401(b) (which grants U.S. citizenship to "a person born in the United States to a member of an Indian, Eskimo, Aleutian, or other aboriginal tribe"…) and Elk v. Wilkins (which discusses "native Indians" and refers to them as "the aboriginal inhabitants of the country")...
Based on the hyperbole of "InformedConsent" (and several others), it appears that some folks are at WAR with so-called "illegal aliens."
This I'll say: IF those losers take up arms against the US, things WILL get real ugly real fast for illegal aliens and their fans.
