Pretty much the entirety of north and south america do this, probably to ensure the end of slavery and similar colonial practices. The fact Europe doesn’t do this is kinda crazy.
Idk where I first heard this. I think it was a lawyer podcast where they were discussing the original debate around the 14th amendment.
Basically the 14th amendment was created to overturn the Dredd Scott ruling and codify citizenship to be more similar to english common law. During the discussion many groups came up: chinese laborers, former slaves, etc. The understanding was that the amendment would provide citizenship to all these groups and that it was necessary to prevent a backslide into slavery.

Yeah, I meant if one of your parents ia a citizen then you are, not if you are born under the jurisdiction. The latter is retarded.
Thank you for this. I never thought of birthright citizenship this way. Where could I read more about this
