The Court addressed this explicitly: "That decision was placed upon the grounds that the meaning of those words was not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction, and owing them direct and immediate allegiance...
This is EXACTLY what my argument has been.

I have not yet found a single libtard that can answer this question. If Plyler was a ruling about jurisdiction giving birthright citizenship to those under the legal jurisdiction of US law, the why are illegals and legal aliens both not eligible to for birthright citizenship if born on US territories of American Samoa or Swain Island?
Birthright citizenship in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clearly the Us government has jurisdiction on its own territory, but aliens do not get citizenship if born in those terriroties.
Why if Plyler ruled on jurisdiction = birthright citizenship?
