The court case that establishes this was Ark v U.S. in 1898. It wasn't a recent development, it's been established law for 112+ years now. It was decided about 30 years after the 14th Amendment was ratified, and by men who were around when it was talked about and debated at length.

Ark's parents were Chinese living in San Fransisco. He was born in San Fransisco around 1868. His parents were not citizens. They returned to China when he was a boy. In the 1890’s, Congress imposed immigration restrictions on the Chinese. Ark was denied entry in 1894 by the U.S., using the argument that since neither of his parents were citizens and he was a subject of the Emporer of China, he was not a citizen. He sued saying he was a citizen due to the language of the 14th Amendment.

The Supreme Court decided in his favor.

That is the law. If you want it to change, change the Constitution.
