Neither U.S. Secretaries of State nor the International Arbitration Panel agrees with you.
The FACT is that those born in the U.S. to aliens temporarily residing in the U.S. were NOT born U.S. citizens. They DIDN'T meet the 14th Amendment's "subject to the jurisdiction" requirement. Two different U.S. Secretaries of State and an International Arbitrator have CONFIRMED such.
RE: The FACT is that those born in the U.S. to aliens temporarily residing in the U.S. were NOT born U.S. citizens.
As I said before, if the above is the case, then Bobby Jindal ought to go through the process of naturalization.
His parents were not permanent residents of America at the time of his birth. They only applied for residency later.
Every US Secretary of State since US v. Wong Kim Ark has agreed with me. And every US Secretary of State prior to 1880 has agreed with me.
So if you're talking about Secretaries of State between sometime in the 1880s, and 1898, then you're correct. If you're talking about Secretaries of State from any other point in our 225+ year history, no.

I've said before that there's a case to be made for the children of aliens temporarily here. I think it's a weak case, but it's possible to make it. But I think there's a case to be made for the children of illegal aliens.
But there's no case to be made for anyone who has a citizen parent. Virtually everybody in the country considers that to be absolutely settled law, and they would've regarded it as such at any point in our history. And there's no case to be made for children of resident aliens. That case was made and decided more than a century ago.
