If I may offer my perspective posted yesterday, approaching this subject from a different angle (hopefully) highlighting how farcical the "advocates'" interpretation of "birthright citizenship" actually is, once one considers it this way:
"To accept the current practice(s) of 'birthright citizenship,' one has to accept the premise that the United States of America has decided that any woman anywhere in the world can unilaterally grant her child (or children) U.S. citizenship, merely by showing up on U.S. soil in time for delivery. In fact, she doesn’t even have to be legally present in the United States, she merely has to 'migrate' here in time for the blessed event of birth.
"When we put it that way, doesn’t the absolute stupidity, the inherently farcical nature of the currently-accepted practice come into sharp relief?"
Laws that were set or implied prior to all the technologies of rapid transportation are still in place. As you indicated a mother giving birth on the runway of an aircraft when on the ground wheels touching meet your criteria quite nicely. I'm guessing it has occurred. Those years of 1866/1884/1898 is like Jurassic Park Time periods.
I always wondered why it is, with so many things here in this country, because every page is being bend upside down over and over again until we are given in with a big guilt feeling (hopefully), reading14 Amendment, give me a different perspective, which can explain in many saying why we always should allowing them because these are poor people and are so in need, we can afford it with all the money we are so lucky to have it is including there delivery, and any health care in the future from our Taxes paid in full, I wish we could have such privilege paying our deliveries (Babies) and all health care affording it or not, but we got the Credit cards to pay with just in case, after all we are rich Americans Hmmm, several words there are placed in conversations from most tells me why like it is about HUMANITY& Kindness are used conveniently and a little more pressure as reminder is God, that is certainly a guild stretcher of conscience, but what about our Veterans and our Elderly? Ups I forgot they do not need our help, only the foreigner !

As I understand, we are the only country in the world that has this policy. This is so backasswards.
