I have read and posted the fourteenth Amendment many times. I actually know what it says and I know what those actually who wrote the amendment have to say about it and why the amendment itself was amended before ratification in order to apply to precisely the proper people.

If you can, please point out specifically where you think it applies to anyone born in the United States.

It's right there:

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.

"All persons born in the United States" means "all persons born in the United States."
