Congress, not our S.C., is authorized to grant U.S. citizenship to anchor babies
.
The Supreme Court may very well sidestep the issue and point to Section 5 of the 14th Amendment,
Section 5
“The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”
and acknowledge that Congress, not our judicial branch of government, has been granted exclusive power to adopt “appropriate legislation” enforcing the amendment, as Congress did when adopting the the “Indian Citizenship Act of 1924”, and extended United States citizenship to Indians as outlined in the Act.
If the offspring of illegal entrant foreign nationals are to be formally granted U.S. citizenship upon birth on U.S. soil, it seems that Congress, not our judicial branch of government, is authorized to do so, but has yet to grant such citizenship.

……we are not at liberty to second-guess congressional determinations and policy judgments of this order, however debatable or arguably unwise they may be…The wisdom of Congress’ action, however, is not within our province to second guess. __ELDRED et al. v. ASHCROFT, ATTORNEY GENERAL (2003)
“As the nation celebrates Independence Day, immigration attorneys are raising urgent concerns over a recent Supreme Court ruling that could significantly impact birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents.”
In the US, nearly all male immigrants between 18 and 25, including those with legal permanent residency, undocumented status, and those seeking asylum, are required to register with the Selective Service System, even if they are not US citizens. This registration is required even if the immigrant is not eligible to serve in the US military.
§3802. Registration
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter it shall be the duty of every male citizen of the United States, and every other male person residing in the United States, who, on the day or days fixed for the first or any subsequent registration, is between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six, to present himself for and submit to registration at such time or times and place or places, and in such manner, as shall be determined by proclamation of the President and by rules and regulations prescribed hereunder. The provisions of this section shall not be applicable to any alien lawfully admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant under section 1101(a)(15) of title 8, for so long as he continues to maintain a lawful nonimmigrant status in the United States
So what you are really saying is, every illegal entrant foreign national who fails to register with our Selective Service as provided by law is guilty of a felony?
