The Founders would suffer group projectile vomiting if they’d heard of it.
Then they’d break out the tar and feathers.
I think they would also be ashamed of us as a nation.

Except for James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution: “It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth however derives its force sometimes from place and sometimes from parentage, but in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States; it will therefore be unnecessary to investigate any other.”-James Madison, May 22, 1789

The Founders made provisions for future generations to alter their original thinking. That’s why the Constitution has 27 Amendments. The 14th altered their thinking on citizenship. The 17th altered the Framers’ thinking on direct election of Senators and the 19th altered their thinking on women having the right to vote.
