If their parents were here under illegal pretense. Their progeny of that effect are therefore not under the effect of the intent of that law. Say they were here within their visa sure. Say they had a legal right of presence at all and legally entered sure. But if they snuck in and then appeared at a hospital to deliver their child, fine lets deliver the child, help them with their emergency medical issue and then escort them across the boarder. If it were up to me it would be less anything they procured while in the USA save for the clothes on their back and all monies up to the cost of the expense of handling them for their illegal activity, and take all record of them making sure the parents never have any chance of becoming a citizen ever no matter what. We wouldn't have so many issues with that anymore and the legal entry route would be easier as our economy ramps up from offing the Jewish overloard's here soon.

Well then they should fine and kick out the parents and make them take the kid with them or make the child a ward of the state. They shouldnt be rewarded for their action, though the 14th gives citzenship to the child

Anchor babies are not subject to the jurisdiction of the united states. They are born in the united states, so the matter of geography is explicitly preempted from the meaning of jurisdiction in this case as it is named as a separate issue of consideration.

The fourth definition of Websters 1828
Note... To persons is what is applied here. This person is not a citizen and is subject to another country given the parent's citizenship. The premise as a whole must be true at once and not one part then the other. They are born n the United States, BUT they are not subject to the jurisdiction. They do not meet citizenship requirements.

Websters 1913 kept the same meaning of the word so we can conclude that at the time of writing this was the meaning of the word and this is how it should be interpreted.
