I highly doubt this will go to SCOTUS.
Birthright citizenship is very clearly outlined in the Constitution. 14A begins "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 only conceivable interpretation which would potentially remove birthright citizenship is claiming that children of illegal immigrants are not subject to US law. But if that is true, then we ALSO have no authority to deport them - or to try them or jail them for crimes, tax them, or do anything else. They would be ACTUAL SovCits.
If this goes to court at all, I see it being tossed out by the first court to see it, and every subsequent court refusing to review an appeal. No way SCOTUS grants cert on this.

Probably correct, what we need is an amendment to stop the abuse of this practice. Also a thing that probably won't happen. Maybe if we deport the parents?

Wishful thinking. This SCOTUS will consider arguments brought before it and the original intent of our President being a "natural born citizen," and what it means to have loyalty to another sovereign nation. Dual citizenship is problematic, especially when considering the oath of citizenship, which requires loyalty to only the US. We have suffered through one President (Obama) who was foreign born (he stated himself that he was the "first Kenyan born Senator"), and first Vice President anchor baby (neither of Kamala Harris's parents were US citizens when she was born here, and spent 6th grade through first years of college in CANADA. No more anchor babies. 14th Amendment be damned.
