You say that like it's a bad thing.
There is a reason, because it's a superior way of doing it.

It's literally only policy in the Americas because they desperately wanted people to move here and displace the Native populations 200-300 years ago. Not a single one of the 4 main countries responsible for a majority of the colonization of the Americas (Portugal, Spain, the UK, and France) have completely unrestricted jus soli anymore themselves in their home countries.

There's no going after it "from this angle". It's Constitutionally guaranteed and any plain text or scholarly reading comes to the same conclusion.

My "angle" comment was directed at it from a "We have to stop the illegal immigrants" angle and not a "We have to stop the birth tourism" angle.

Although I doubt Trump has any interest in ending birth tourism given the reports of how much the Russians are paying to stay in places like his hotels to give birth.
