Which i stated above…
I didn’t say that it ACTUALLY SAID THAT…
Is English not your first language to speak?
Ah.
So it says absolutely nothing about "illegal invaders".
It doesn't even hint at them.
However, it does quite clearly say:
"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."
Glad we cleared that up.
Section 1. Purpose. The privilege of United States citizenship is a priceless and profound gift. The Fourteenth Amendment states: “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.” That provision rightly repudiated the Supreme Court of the United States’s shameful decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857), which misinterpreted the Constitution as permanently excluding people of African descent from eligibility for United States citizenship solely based on their race.
But the Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States
but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States,
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth,
8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text.

those born in the US to a foreign diplomatic officer are not US citizens because they are not subject to US jurisdiction
