The 14th Amendment guarantees that all persons born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States. That plain text is about as clear as the law can be. The Supreme Court and our Constitution only recognize two very narrow exceptions for children of foreign diplomats and children of an occupying army's soldiers. Situations where US Law cannot be applied. Simply tweeting that there's an invasion of immigrants is nothing more than a desperate and bigoted attempt to fabricate an end run around birthright citizenship and doesn't meet either of those exceptions.
