So...Trump thinks he can change the Constitution?

This guy was worried about a ladies email account and how finding nothing to prosecute could sway an election, and he's out there pissing on the Constitution to get lower income racists who think brown people are the reason they're poor, motivated enough to get off the couch and vote.

The key phrase is "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." The Court later ruled, in the Wong Kim Ark decision (1898), that children born to foreign diplomats, or born to enemy soldiers occupying U.S. territory, were not protected under the 14th, as they were clearly not under American jurisdiction. (Neither were American Indians, until 1924.) But then, neither are illegal alien invaders, who openly proclaim their contempt for American immigration law even as they march toward our southern border.

Ark himself, although excluded from American citizenship at the time by the anti-Chinese laws in effect, was a legal immigrant, born of legally admitted parents and hence subject to American jurisdiction.

Personally, I'd say if you come here illegally and have a kid, you are immediately deported and forfeit any possibility of future legal immigration. The kid is a citizen and can stay or go, but no chain migration for relatives.
I think any President with a phone and a pen could handle that.
