And there's still that little matter in the US Constitution that gives any person who is born within the US becomes a citizen.

P.S. If you don't have any common sense, then there's really not much way of getting any.

Another issue that should change in a time of war and invasion from a third world country.

Noticing that you don't live in California anymore, I suppose it doesn't bother you that these invaders cost California taxpayers 10 billion bucks every year. We don't like it much, m'am.

I believe there is a qualifier that basically states they are here under the full jurisdiction of the US Constitution which can be interpreted that as progeny of law breakers they are not entitled to citizenship.

Also offspring of diplomats born here are not subject to automatic citizenship.

The intention of that amendment should be taken in context. It was implicitly intented to address the naturalization of former slaves.

If we were to take your logic, the second amendment's 'militia' would mean (the modern perception) state militia, rather than the meaning of the word when it was first written down...as noted in the Constitutional notes via madison or others.

"It thus clearly appears that, by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the Crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, the jurisdiction of the English Sovereign, and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign State or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born."
