출생시민권에 대한 논쟁은 단순히 미국 땅에서 태어났다는 이유만으로 누가 미국인으로 간주되어야 하는지에 초점을 맞추는 경우가 많습니다. 그러나 미국 역사상 가장 큰 아이러니 중 하나는 자주 간과됩니다. 이 땅에서 태어난 최초의 원주민인 아메리카 원주민은 1924년까지 보편적으로 미국 시민으로 인정받지 못했습니다. 출생시민권 원칙은 남북 전쟁 후 1868년에 비준된 미국 수정헌법 제14조에 뿌리를 두고 있습니다. 이 법은 "미국에서 태어나거나 귀화하고 미국의 관할권에 속하는 모든 사람은 미국 시민이다"라고 선언합니다. 이러한 헌법적 보장에도 불구하고 대부분의 아메리카 원주민은 미국 시민이 아닌 주권 부족 국가의 구성원으로 간주되어 제외되었습니다. 그 결과, 미국 국경 내에서 태어난 수백만 명의 사람들이 다른 미국인들이 누리는 모든 권리와 보호를 거부당했습니다.
