See: Trump says birthright citizenship 'must be abolished' ahead of Supreme Court ruling
During the debates of the 39th Congress which framed the 14th Amendment, there is not a shred of evidence to be found to conclude its drafters, or the people when adopting the Fourteenth Amendment, knowingly and willingly intended it to include within the meaning of a natural born citizen, children born to foreign nationals on American soil who violated or subverted U.S. statutory laws upon their entry into the United States.
Likewise, there is no Supreme Court ruling to be found which took up the question, “Is a child born on American soil to a foreign national who violated United States law upon entry into the United States, a natural-born United States citizen upon birth”?
Additionally, our system requires consent of the governed in matters which affect the peoples’ general welfare and their daily lives. U.S. birthright citizenship, without question, affects the general welfare of the United States and her citizens. Consent of the governed may be satisfied via Article V, our system’s amendment process, or, through the people’s elected representatives acting on their behalf . . . their Congress or President. If an unelected majority on our Supreme Court hands down a decision which effectively recognizes the offspring of illegal entrant foreign nationals born on American soil as U.S. citizens upon birth, they will have subjugated that part of our system which requires consent of the governed.

There are few things which are indisputable and our Supreme Court ought to take them into consideration when deciding Trump v. Barbara, which questions U.S. birthright citizenship."WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump, on Thursday, June 11, renewed his push to end birthright citizenship, arguing that the United States can no longer sustain a policy that automatically grants citizenship to nearly everyone born on American soil."
