Which amendment declared all persons to be born or naturalized in the US to be a citizen?
Amendment XIVSection 1.All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. This is qualified by the statement "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof", illegal aliens (foreign nationals), foreign government officials, and temporary visitors and residents, are not US citizens subject to the jurisdiction of the US. Congress has made rules specifying "natural born citizen" as being those born to a US citizen or legal resident, who has resided within the US or it's territories for no less than 5 years.The courts have upheld any discrepancies as erring toward citizenship.Foreign citizens, not legally residing in the US, giving birth in the US, do not extend US citizenship rights to their children.The due process and equal protection clause extends beyond the citizenship of the person, giving non-citizens the right of due process and equal protection.
