Yeah, he forgot to mention last Thursday, that the 1868 Supreme Court ruling dealt with offspring of Legal Immigrants to this country NOT ILLEGAL.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States
and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
I just printed out the fourteenth amendment.
If an illegal comes here to have a baby she cannot confer U.S. status/citenship on her baby if she does not reside in a state legally.
In other words a mother of a baby in the US must have US residency in one of the 50 states or her birth should be construed as a birth from her home country and nothing else. ITs clearly stated in the Constitution.
IMHO, it clearly states that to become a citizen residency in a state is clearly a must. One must be a resident of one of the 50 states to become a citizen. An illegal person who comes to the US and is not a resident of one of the 50 states is clearly not a citizen of the US nor would any birth she gives allow US citizenship simply because they are born in one of the 50 states.
Residency/citizenship is a must.
Where am I going wrong?

You are not going wrong. Many Constitutional scholars agree with you. First, we need Congress to change the law so it complies with the intent of the drafters of the 14th amendment. No doubt it will be challenged in the courts and we will then see whether SCOTUS sustains the new law or rules it unconstitutional.
If ruled unconstitutional, then an amendment would be necessary. If not, then the law suffices to eliminate birthright citizenship. 61% of the American people want birthright citizenship eliminated. It is a winning position politically.
