By the way. Wong's parents had permanent residency and that is the reason Wong got citizenship.
By the way, read the decision. Residency wasn't a factor. The Supreme Court wasn't trying to legislate, they decided the case based on applying the law, i.e. the 14th Amendment.

Irrelevant. Indian Reservations were not considered subject to US jurisdiction at the time. By the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, Native Americans were back to being subject to the jurisdiction of the US and, of course, were US citizens.

Wrong. Do your homework

No, generally, Native Americans born outside of reservations were not considered American citizens prior to 1924. The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, also known as the Snyder Act, finally granted full U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans born within the territorial limits of the United States. Prior to this, Native Americans had been largely excluded from citizenship, despite being born within the country.

Illegal aliens do not have domicil in the US.

Domicil generally refers to a person's legal permanent home or residence, which is different from their temporary location or residence. It's a place where a person has a fixed and permanent home, regardless of where they might be living temporarily. For legal purposes, a person's domicile is significant as it determines jurisdiction and venue for legal processes, and it's the place where they are considered to have their roots.
