The most you can say is that it has become common to accept the 14th Amendment does say children of illegal immigrants born here are automatically citizens.

Having never been ruled on by the SCOTUS, there has been no determination that you are right. Further, there are good arguments against it as well.

Sorry you didn’t know that.

Not true. The most you can say is that the words of the 14th Amendment are clear, and they are.

"Having never been ruled on by the SCOTUS, there has been no determination that you are right. Further, there are good arguments against it as well."

Not having been material to the holding of a particular case does not mean the court hasn't written about this subject. It has. For one, go actually read the Wong decision. It covers the subject quite thoroughly.

"Sorry you didn’t know that."

Oh I know all about the arguments, from fighting with silly Birthers.
