When the 14th Amendment was being debated on the floor of Congress Vattel's "Law of Nations" (Law of Nature", "Natural Law") was quoted..."Son follows the condition of his father." It doesn't matter where you are born in the world but the citizenship of your father at the time of birth. You become the citizen of the country that your father is a citizen of. The intent of the 14th Amendment...anchor babies are not U.S. citizens.
