Well, let's see.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.What does that "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" mean? It must mean something. Does anyone think that if we were invaded by some foreign army that included females that the 14th amendment framers thought to include the children they dropped here as citizens of the United States? Well, we have been invaded; and we are being invaded. The enemy chooses not to wear uniforms. Should this give their offspring citizenship? No one in his right mind should think so.

Politicians play with this fire while Amerika Burns!! The most disgusting thing I do, is sit and watch sorry excuses for Americans sit and try to justify unlawful entry into the USA.
Nice. Nailed it in a few well chosen sentences.
Bada-Boom, Bada-Bing.
Wow. I never thought of it in the context of an invading army with women dropping babies.
No. Not in a million years would those kids be citizens.
Thank you.
I refer you to post 43.
Good point, but they are “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” once here.
Something along the lines of "a well-regulated militia" maybe?
