“She’s an “anchor baby”. Needs US citizen parents to be eligible. “
Pursuant to the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), U.S. citizenship is automatically granted to any person born within and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States (known as jus soli). Furthermore, the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees citizenship for nearly all individuals born in the United States, provided that their parents are foreign citizens. The main ones left out are the newborn children of foreign ambassadors.
An example is Obama. His father was a Kenyan national. But because he was “born on US soil,” he was eligible to run.

That defines mere citizenship, and even that position is flawed. Only foreign nationals here legally are "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States"
This was clearly not the intent of the author of 14A...see his writings.
The main ones left out are the newborn children of foreign ambassadors.
And illegal aliens.
Mexican "anchor babies" are subject to the jurisdiction of Mexico.
