Even Antonin Scalia publicly disagreed with this position.
The simple basis for his stance was that the 14th Amendment clearly defines people as those "born or naturalized thereof."

Scalia made a lot of bonehead statements and decisions. Like the 2nd amendment did not prohibit reasonable gun laws. He failed to define reasonable or what make no law really means. He also decided that burning our flag was protected speech, has the court also said burning a gay pride flag is protected speech? I doubt the founders would have ever believed that the meaning of no, is or human would ever come into question. The sad thing is that people on Free Republic seem to have trouble with those words as well.
Bu the way "born or naturalized thereof." describes a citizen not a human and that apparently is wrong as well, since clearly we don't know what a citizen is any longer either.
