It took the 14th Amendment AND the Wong Kim Ark Supreme Court decision to cement in place the idea that a person born under the jurisdiction of the United States could be a United States citizen at birth no matter the parent’s citizenship.

I agree, that's where the current definition became cemented into the public mind, but neither the 14th Amendment, nor Wong Kim Ark makes such a claim. The claim is read into both the amendment and the decision. We have been dealing with the legacy of this error ever since.

“...neither the 14th Amendment, nor Wong Kim Ark makes such a claim.”

Agreed.
