“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 needs to be amended out of the Constitution.
Birthright citizenship may have been appropriate 150 years ago, but it creates millions of problems in the 21st Century - US children with illegal foreign parents.
What I suggest is:
The first sentence of Amendment XIV is hereby repealed.
Every child born in the USA after April 30, 2017 shall be born with the citizenship of their mother.
No foreigner may be granted US citizenship unless the foreigner is over age 22 and has paid United States federal income tax in excess of the value of one ounce of gold on personal US earnings in each of the prior four years.
[That’s to make it impractical/impossible for Democrats to give a scofflaw mom or her newborn US citizenship.]
[A wall isn’t going to work - there are bulldozers and ladders in Mexico.]
“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.”

Illegal aliens did not present themselves to be subject to the jurisdiction thereof, so their children are not citizens.
