The SC has never ruled on that sentence yet.

As the Amendment was targeting former Slaves and Indians there was lots of argument over the Indians because on the reservation they were not subject to US jurisdiction.

The courts have been dancing around "jurisdiction" for years with illegal border jumpers.

D'rats argue they are under jurisdiction - have rights.

R's argue that since they are illegal they have no jurisdictional rights.

This will end up in the SC and you know what the D's will say about that.
