>if Jus Soli was abolished then someone should be able to point to specific statutes that abolished it

Easy, look at our Naturalization Laws from 1785 onwards.

Look at how the framers of the citizenship clause recorded the meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction”:

“Not owing allegiance to anybody else.” AND...

“the same jurisdiction in extent and quality as applies to every citizen of the United States now.”

It’s all there, recorded and in plain view.
