Holding of Wong Kim Ark

All persons born or naturalized in the United States

The End
Ah but that is not where the 14th ended did it? And subject to the jurisdiction thereof follows. Elk was an American Indian that was born inside the territory of the US and was not considered a US citizen by the SCOTUS.
 
The 14th Amendment says anyone born here is legal. It’s pretty cut and dry. Don’t like the law, change it, but it can’t be done by EO.
No it does not. Can illegal aliens get SS numbers legally? No. So they can't pay SS like you and me. Can they serve in the Military? Nope. Can they vote? Nope. So they are not subject to our laws. American Indians born prior to 1924 and not Taxed were not CITIZENS of the US regardless if they were born on or off the reservation. IT REQUIRED AN ACT OF CONGRESS IN 1924 TO GRANT THEM CITIZENSHIP.
 
That's actually what you are attempting to do. With regard to the legal context of the word "resident", there is only one. Why do you think the term " resident alien" exists? That's what green card holders are termed. As well as certain non immigrant visa holders. An illegal alien does not lawfully hold resident status.

This is simply not true.
no, but you are indeed wrong.
