I think the line in the Constitution from the 14th amendment is, “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.” What that means is that "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" doesn't allow foreign citizens the right to have their children become citizens. We disallow foreign govt officials and military the right to have their children get U.S. citizenship.

If the courts have not rendered the verdict that you think they should have render since the Civil War on this matter, and there obviously have been illegals coming into the US and having babies here afterwards since then, why should it be changed now?

To suit you?

Were they all leftists that controlled the courts since the Civil War until now?

And what if an illegal gets pregnant after coming here?

You can’t argue that she came here to get pregnant to have an American citizen, can you?

How do you determine her motivation?

I’m a Cruz supporter and no Trump fan, but as you pointed out, the language “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is key, and gives Trump and Constitutional scholars plenty of leg to stand on.
