Your two links, including the Ann Coulter article, are not applicable to what you are decrying. They are out of context - and I will supply the context.
The Brennan (sp?) footnote that Coulter was against said that the 14th applied to people ILLEGALLY in the USA, as well as to people legally here. The 14th applies to children born of visitors or residents of the USA who are here legally.
The term "established maxim" means that it is a custom or a principle, not that it is an enacted law. In this assertion Madison is correct. English Common law is the default authority in cases where there is no State statute which addresses an issue, but you are trying to turn it into positive law which it is not.

My links are out of context? Really? Was there enough information in the links so as to imply some sort of context with which they could be out of? The links merely connect to the entire article. You are spouting nonsense.

The entire point of the article is that ANCHOR BABIES are not legitimate citizens. Here, let me show you an "out of context" quote from the Ann Coulter article.
The drafters of the 14th amendment had no intention of conferring citizenship on the children of aliens who happened to be born in the U.S. (For my younger readers, back in those days, people cleaned their own houses and raised their own kids.)
Yeah, that's pretty misrepresented all right. Obviously Ann is trying to say the exact opposite of that quote.
Pull the other one.
