    The United States has granted birthright citizenship to virtually all children born on its soil since 1868.

    No, not virtually all. Less than that. Most, yes.

      What do you mean? Which children born on US soil since 1868 were not granted birthright citizenship?

          A DuckDuckGo search says that since 1924 native Americans living on reservations also get birthright citizenship. I suppose there may be a handful of native Americans born before then who are still alive, but I doubt many.

            Don’t worry, the Indians born on reservations before 1924 weren’t born after 1868.

            The original statement didn’t specify that it only applied to people alive today.
