Blackstone discussed English law, the 14th ammendment says that the parents must be under US jurisdiction...

I don't know what Fourteenth Amendment you're reading, but the one in my copy of the Constitution of the United States says absolutely nothing about parents. It only refers to the person born or naturalized. To wit, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..."

Absolutely nothing about the status of parents.

As with Blackstone, you seem to be imagining parents where none exist.

You really don’t understand “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof?”

If it was “subject to the King” you’d love it though, huh?
