Yes indeed, I saw The Donald today

In the flesh.

I can report that his bleached blonde hair looks absolutely ridiculous in person.

No worries, be happy. The hair has done its job. Which was to help inform that:

The 1868 14th Amendment did not make Indians citizens until congress in 1923 said they were. Keyword is 'jurisdiction'.

Simple and straightforward for congress now to do its job.

Of course. Indian reservations were considered sovereign.

But what does that have to do with The Donald's hair?

No, went for Indians born not on reservation too. Reason being birth certificates weren't widely distributed. And because like the rest of the world if you are born in a foreign land you are the nationality of your parents.

No Indians were citizens solely by reason of birth until that Act, but many were citizens - it was a different time with different rules. Back then, as now, non-Indians born here were citizens.

Indians were not part of the USA if they were on reservations since they were soveriegn nations. In reality, it was just racism enforced by law. Anyone who believes those reservations were not run by the BIA and US Army at the time is seriously delusional. Just another example of white privilege and our racist past finally getting put to rest by an act of Congress.
