I want my readers to note the Preamble is the thesis statement (tells the reader who this process, descriptive, and expository essay was written for.) of the US Constitution. So, according to the rules of English grammar, any time, in the constitution, a pronoun like people, persons, them, they, or their (for example) is used, English grammar rules say these pronouns are referring back to America’s citizens, which is what it says in the Preamble, the topic of the Constitution. If you understand this rule, when we read Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, we should understand that when the pronoun 'persons' is used in this sentence, this pronoun is referring to America’s citizens and no other citizens from other countries because of the rules of the use of pronouns. Here is how Section 1 of the 14th Amendment would read when the pronoun is taken out and the proper noun (subject or thesis of the Constitution) Americans or American is used to replace the pronouns: 'All ’Americans’ born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to 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 ’American’ of life, liberty, or prosperity, without due process of law; nor deny to any American within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.' Now that you are reading Section 1 of the 14th Amendment the way it would read if the pronouns are replaced by the proper noun that replaces these pronouns, I hope my fellow Americans can see that this sentence in no way offers automatic US citizenship to any illegal child that is born on US soil to illegal parents that are in America without permission
