   No, it protects ALL citizens and those here lawfully.   
   ------------------------   
      
   The clause on birthright citizenship was judged too narrow and vague to   
   match reality, for instance illegal invaders avoid the requirement of being   
   under US jurisdiction, sometimes violently. American Samoans have chosen to   
   be US nationals but not US citizens to preserve their traditional culture,   
   and legal precedent supports them.

   "Despite American Samoan resistance to birthright citizenship in the   
   protection of the fa‘amatai and traditional land tenure system, federal   
   lawsuits   
   supported by the U.S. American continental legal actors rooted in   
   ethnocentric   
   Western ideals of American nationalism continue to rage on."   
      
   Birth citizenship is far from universal, outside the Americas where it   
   benefitted immigrants newborns take the citizenship of their parents.

   "In contrast to jus soli, nearly every other country on Earth offers jus   
   sanguinis, which grants citizenship as long as one parent (or sometimes both   
   parents) are citizens."
