Just a further thought on that ruling. If we look real closely at the segment that goes: "but who have a permanent domicile and residence in the United States and are carrying on business in the United States," and simply ask ourselves, "what if they went home" we can see that they did not really have a "permanent domicile and residence here" and therefore their kids no longer qualify for citizenship.

Families that send grandma back to live with the relatives in the old country could really be in some trouble couldn't they?

However the legal interpretations have all gone with the exact wording of the 14th Amendment: all persons born in the US are citizens.
