Congress, in the current Nationality Act, very explicitly granted citizenship to every child born here, regardless of the citizenship of the parents. Congress also went further than the 14th Amendment and the Supreme Court's interpretations of it, and granted citizenship to every child under the age of 5 who is found in the United States if the child's parentage or birth place are unclear.
Perhaps I should have worded my comment differently. I should have said "With the 14th Amendment, Congress never intended..." I understand what the current immigration laws say. My point is that the laws violate the 14th Amendment. The wording "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the States wherein they reside." is vague enough to be misinterpreted, but the authors were pretty clear that they didn't intend for it to cover foreigners. It wasn't until much later that this became the meaning du jour.
