From my understanding, the Trump position, if effected, would not disqualify children of non-citizens from US citizenship if the parents are here legally,

Yes, permanent non-citizen residents that was opined by Justice Gray in US v. Wong Kim Ark, 1898. Many believe that SCOTUS opinion is in error, but that's another subject.

Congress has the power to create naturalization, positive citizenship laws that is not in conflict with the 14th Amendment to cover anchor babies and the chain migration of alien subjects and citizens that follows.

The courts have no enumerated power to say who is or who is not a citizen.....ie the power of naturalization.

Why does Congress have to follow the courts opinion but not the other way around? /rhetorical
