Do illegals "reside" in any state when they pop a kid? What do you think?

I think your reading comprehension needs as much a lesson as theirs. 'Born in the United States' is the determinant clause. I don't see any necessity for a person to reside in a state. Where is that in the US Constitution?

“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.”​

This hopeful flailing by MAGAts to try to change the meaning of plain speech because they don't like the meaning is just par for the course.

Nor do the parents have to 'reside' anywhere. Ludicrous desperation.

Oh give the poor parrot a break, he is just trumpeting the party line. "Domiciled", that is the argument. Foolish really. It is no where mentioned in the amendment, not even in the Wong Kim Ark ruling, not even in the Constitutional debates.
