America is a very good country and one of the few in the world that allows this. The problem with this is that many people come here to only have children (anchor children) and abuse the system. 1000's of people from all over the world intentionally take trips to the USA to have children.
Zero countries in the European Union grant automatic and unconditional birthright citizenship to children born on their territory.

It's not the best talent that is coming. It is folks who are coming intentionally to just have a child. Read the fine print, if you are here living legally then it doesn't apply to you but if you are crossing the border to have a child or coming on vacation for 1 week to have a child this law would apply to you. Our founders never thought it would be abused like this, they couldn't foresee the shit show it has become. It's why Europe doesn't allow it.

While maybe a small scale issue, the solution isn’t an authoritative order that tries to rewrite the U.S. Constitution and bypass democracy.

Perhaps, but this is definitely an issue/problem and the US should model it's policy after the EU on this specific issue.
