All the language you cited involved the renunciation of prior citizenship and loyalty for the process of naturalizing someone who had been a citizen or subject of another country.

The relevant language we are discussing in the context of the 14th Amendment applies to newborn babies who clearly have not yet formed any attachment or loyalty to any nation. Nothing in the 14th mentions parentage at all.

Nonsense.

It's all about the illegal alien who gave birth. Even Wong was decided on the grounds of the parent, not the child.

It's all about the conditions that brought the parent to give birth here that determines jurisdiction.
