Also the 14th amendment is open for interpretation. The important part of the 14th amendment is:

What does "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" mean? Could it mean if the parents are citizens or residents?
Are you telling me that if someday the US were invaded and occupied, and the invading army brings their family or gets a foreigner pregnant and has a child on US soil, then the US wins the war and kicks out all of the invaders, the children of these invaders are US citizens and can stay and can eventually sponsor their previously invading parents to come live in the US to be American citizens? You really think this is what they had in mind when they wrote the 14th amendment? Or could it be that since they weren't subject to the jurisdiction of the US that their children aren't automatically US citizens?
