Treaty.Where does it say that they can only be subject to some laws?
The 14th amendment does not apply to Indians. It applies only to the federal and State governments.But let's assume that you are correct about only some laws. That leads to the following.
You are saying that Indians should have been covered under the 14th.
Indians are citizens of the tribe, and of the confederation (if they have one), and of the United States).You are making a strong argument for why it was wrong to not allow Indians to be citizens at birth.
Illegal aliens have NO right to remain in the United States. They are immediately subject to deportation.Because one group was denied their rights under the Constitution doesn't mean you can then deny another group their rights.
ALL Illegal aliens are subject to the laws of the United States while they are here. That does NOT grant them citizenship.The result of your argument is that you can't deny citizenship to the children of undocumented immigrants because undocumented immigrants are subject to some laws when in the US.
