View submission: "Excluding Indians": Trump admin questions Native Americans' birthright citizenship in court

View parent comment

Trump and the Heritage Foundation goons who wrote this are using the same "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" arguments to say native Americans have their own governmental structures that fundamentally aren't subject to US laws. Don't know if that's an actual effort to deny US citizenship to native Americans on the whole or just bolster their asinine arguments against birth citizenship ... meaning, "nobody not 'subject to the jurisdiction' is a US citizen, and we're being perfectly consistent about that."
