The simple fact is that the XIV Amendment, Section 1 says "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."

The language could not be more clear. With the very small exception of children born to parents in the country with diplomatic status (and not subject to the jurisdiction of the US), all persons born in the US are citizens of the US.
