I hope that this is a shitpost. Either that, or someone isn't aware that Jefferson died over 60 years before Hitler was born.

It's not unconstitutional to deport illegal immigrants; it is unconstitutional to redefine citizenship with with an Executive Order. He can deport all the people he wants so long as he legally does so, and yes, he can have border patrol turn away most anyone so long as it is done through the legal channels provided.
That's not what is at question; what is at question is birthright citizenship. Thanks to the wording of the 14th Amendment coupled with US v. Wong Kim Ark and Polyle v. Doe, birthright citizenship is provided in the 14th Amendment. You simply cannot legally change that with an Executive Order.
Further, we don't and shouldn't give a shit what other countries do. They are not the US. The US has its own body of laws, and they should be followed. Was the 14th Amendment rather poorly worded? Perhaps or perhaps not. One could just as easily argue that even though children of illegal immigrants may not have been the intent, the intent was also to allow for further application of citizenship than just to former slaves from the 14th Amendment; it's not as though immigration wasn't a hot-bed issue at the time, and it's not as though undocumented immigrants were an unknown concept. All Amendments are by design, necessity, and nature a compromise of ideas, and no singular interpretation even from the time of its passage encompasses every single drafter's thoughts on the subject. There is a very strong reason why they were not far more explicit with the language in the 14th even though they easily could have been and had the where-withal to do so if they desired, and it was left to encompass more than just former slaves by design even if it wasn't meant to address the modern issue of illegal immigration specifically. This is the fundamental problem with Originalists, as it accepts only those Originalists arguments that agree with their position while ignoring other arguments from the time that disagree with them, and arbitrarily at that. The Drafters of amendments were not a monolith, and the wording of every Amendment is chosen very carefully so as not to have undesired effects of allowing the Government to encroach upon its citizenry. Applying the "originalist" interpretation that "jurisdiction" has one very narrow meaning when it comes to citizenry opens up a very dangerous can of worms that is rife for abuse, wherein clever means to deny citizenship to even those who are born of US citizens can be found and would be legal.
Further, applying a strict definition to the legal definition of jurisdiction is absolutely required, which is exactly why the courts enshrined Jus Soli in US v. Wong Kim Ark and was reaffirmed by both the majority and dissenting opinions in Polyle v. Doe. If "jurisdiction" in the 14th applies only and strictly to Legal residents, then the Country has practically zero jurisdictional authority to non-legal individuals in the US. This is an obvious absurdity, and so we must accept the fact that Jurisdiction applies not only to authority over legal citizens, but also to authority within the borders of the country itself.

President Obama didn't try to amend the constitution by executive order and didn't do anything that would possibly make me not be a US citizen. Besides, this isn't about Obama.

It was to resolve the question of what to do with the relatively large population of Black southerners that were formerly slaves. The goal was to give these Blacks US citizenship but it was poorly written in haste, which is why the birthright citizenship problem has come to exist.
It has been a long time coming that the US would eventually close the loophole so that people from all corners of the world won't flock to the US expressly for the purpose of having their child be born there in order to claim citizenship and/or benefits in relation to that.

Well, it's finally here, people. The crown jewel of impossible campaign promises has arrived. The Donald, from what I can tell, wants to end the 14th amendment, but only through an executive order. We all know an amendment trying to nullify it wouldn't pass, so this is his only option. However, although I may not be a constitutional lawyer, even I know he can't do that. However, it seems like what he's trying to do is just exclude illegal immigrants from 14th amendment protection, and that seems to be pretty damn unconstitutional to me.

If the drafters wanted the Amendment to be *only* applicable to former slaves, they would have explicitly stated as much. It's not as though they were idiots who didn't see the fact that using "jurisdiction" instead of more explicit language would open the door for unintended consequences. While I highly doubt that children of illegal immigrants was on their mind at all when passing the Amendment, what most certainly was on their mind was the notion that some unscrupulous individuals would use any narrow wording to their advantage, and deny citizenship to otherwise legal individuals through clever legalizing. Hence why they decided not to more explicitly define "jurisdiction" or more explicitly provide a narrow-focused concept of citizenry in the Amendment.
Part of ensuring that nobody's rights are infringed means that sometimes you have to provide rights to those you don't like or even think should have them, which is exactly why the 14th is worded as precisely and exactly as it was. They knew full well there would be unintended consequences of wording it as such, and accepted this truth as the other side of the coin was far, far worse.
