Section 1. 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.
You’re wrong. Note “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Notice how the children of diplomats born in the United States aren’t U.S. citizens. I’m an attorney. I’ve read the constitution, I’ve read the case law that partially enacted birth right citizenship. The case that created it was very poorly decided, misreading an older case to come to that conclusion.
If the amendment had intended to grant birthright citizenship, they wouldn’t have needed that “and”
The 14th amendment author explicitly wrote about how citizenship applies only to bloodlines, not soil, thus arguing against his language being used to justify birthright citizenship.
This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.

Subject to the jurisdiction of the country you came from, and therefore ARE NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS.
Birthright citizenship is absurd. The Supreme Court made it up

Why didn’t Trump end birthright citizenship? I heard Trump wanted to do that at one time,why did he stop?
You’d have to ask him
Maybe this is something he will do in the 2nd term?
