This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are (1)foreigners, (2)aliens, (3)who belong to the families of ambassadors or (4)foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."

Is this what this paragraph means? There are 4 groups who born here would NOT be automatic citizens....foreigners....aliens.....etc.?

If not, then exactly what does it mean?

The Supreme Court has never explicitly ruled on whether children born in the United States to illegal immigrant parents are entitled to birthright citizenship via the 14th Amendment,[31] although it has generally been assumed that they are.[28] When accorded automatic birthright citizenship based on birth on American soil, a newborn’s status is generally unaffected by the legal status or citizenship of that individual’s mother or father.
