If that's the case, children born to naturalized citizens or green card holders are not citizens. If someone is in the United States, they are subject to its laws and jurisdiction.

Title 31 of the U.S. Code specifically defines the term "persons" on the subject of jurisdiction. That is where it gets debated as of late. Are they a citizen, resident, corporation, organization, association, partnership, legal alien, etc? Some argue because anyone within the US is deserving of equal rights of law, that they should also be afforded all else equal.
