And we decided a long time ago that anyone born here was entitled to be a citizen (as long as they're subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S.), and this baby clearly and unambiguously is. So we don't strip her of her rights.
Did we? That's the context. Illegal actions from parents never factored into this - remember that slaves bought or born here were considered in the United States by perfectly legal (at the time) means...
In the current context, we have people intentionally breaking US law and having kids here to make them citizens, to enable the parents to stick around. Or you have folks entering the United States *legally* say, via tourism, and having a kid here who gets to claim citizenship. Neither action is really in line with the original intent of the 14th Amendment.
