No, the modern liberal interpretation of the 14th amendment disagrees with him. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
It's the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" meaning if a person is subject not to the jurisdiction of the the US but of another country, then they are not citizens.
There are two qualifications for someone to be deemed a citizen at birth, not just because they were born on American soil.
One of the problems of having a Common Law system is that the judiciary has alot more clout in terms of legal interpretation than is the case in a Civil Law system. This is why you have so many people bitching about "unelected, all-powerful judges" all the time. This is an issue in all countries in the Anglosphere, where the Common Law gives disproportionate power to judicial interpretation.

And the modern conservative one (or at least the majority one), too. Unless you wanna believe conservatives also have a “liberal interpretation.” Which is fine. Just so you know.
“It’s the phrase ‘and subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ meaning if a person is subject not to the jurisdiction of the the US but of another country, then they are not citizens.”
Um, who says illegals are “subject to the jurisdition” of another country when they are here? Why would they be? Because they’re citizens of another country? Well, so are dual citizens, and it’s perfectly fine to be a dual citizen according to the U.S. government. Actually, when you get down to it, it’s not that they’re fine with it, exactly. They just don’t care. They don’t recognize it. You’re a citizen whether or not you’re also a citizen of another country.
