It's been discussed on here that the Constitution does not establish birthright citizenship. It's just a thing the deep state started doing without asking anyone.

There's a clause in the constitution that is clear to anyone with a brain, however it can be misread on purpose by activist judges. That's why we need to be sure.

The ORIGINAL Constitution does not establish birthright citizenship but the 14th amendment certainly does.

"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"

So to overturn this we need another amendment. Just like how the 18th amendment (prohibition of alcohol) was overturned by the 21st amendment

The key words are: and subject to the jurisdiction thereof

An illegal alien isn't. For example, they wouldn't be drafted if there was a war.

Moreover, the discussions of Founding Fathers make it clear what they meant, and a "constitutionalist" judge is meant to interpret the constitution as what it was trying to say at the time.

Truly, only a left wing activist could interpret the words you quoted as "anyone can come in here illegally, shit a child, and have the right to stay"
