Here's Tucker Carlson's view...
Here's the first section of the 14th Amendment, the section in question in this debate...
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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Now, let's go further back in history, with two Biblical cases. Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, making him a Judean by birth. But, his parents were Galilean, which made him Galilean by parentage. So Jesus was both, Judean and Galilean. And then there's the apostle Paul. He was born in a place called Tarsus. He was called Saul of Tarsus. In Acts 22.3, Paul said, "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia." While he was born in Tarsus, his parents were Judean, which is how he could make that statement. Not only that, at the time of his birth, the Roman Empire was at the height of their expansion, which why Paul also claimed to be a Roman citizen.

The citizenship of apostle Paul is based so much on where he was born. Where he was born made him a Roman citizen, but his parentage made him Jewish.
One of the powers of Congress listed in Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution includes defining and punishing offenses of the Law of Nations.
Law of Nations, Book 1, Chapter 19, Section 12 states...
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.
Section 215 states...
It is asked whether the children born of citizens in a foreign country are citizens? The laws have decided this question in several countries, and their regulations must be followed. By the law of nature alone, children follow the condition of their fathers, and enter into all their rights (§ 212); the place of birth produces no change in this particular, and cannot, of itself, furnish any reason for taking from a child what nature has given him; I say “of itself,” for, civil or political laws may, for particular reasons, ordain otherwise. But I suppose that the father has not entirely quitted his country in order to settle elsewhere. If he has fixed his abode in a foreign country, he is become a member of another society, at least as a perpetual inhabitant; and his children will be members of it also.
Quotes from the Law of Nations from here... lonang.com/library/reference/vattel-law-of-nations/vatt-119/
Section 215 seems to negate birthright citizenship. But, take notice to this, "the place of birth produces no change in this particular, and cannot, of itself, furnish any reason for taking from a child what nature has given him; I say “of itself,” for, civil or political laws may, for particular reasons, ordain otherwise." In the United States, the 14th Amendment does ordain otherwise.
From all these sources, historically, citizenship is based on where you are born. Your heritage comes from your father.
Donald Trump is snubbing his nose at the 14th Amendment, the Law of Nations, the Bible and thousands of years of world history.
I sure wish Trump could be impeached. I really don't believe Pence would be as bad.
By the way, didn't I hear Donald Trump during the campaign say that it is wrong to run the Country with executive orders? Yet, that is what he is doing.
Folks, I urge you. don't vote Republican on November 6th. Trump has to lose power, not gain it.
And in 2020, vote...
