The 14th amendment avoids any restrictions when it guarantees citizenship to all children born on U.S. soil.
So, a judge who truly applies originalism interpretations when deciding cases, like Scalia and reportedly Kavanaugh, would likely rule against adding in a restriction in reaction to a current political dilemma.
The Supreme Court would very likely have ruled against a "Muslim" ban too, in my opinion. That would have amounted to religious discrimination and is why the original Muslim ban was revised three times and morphed into a 'travel ban' before being legally blessed.
If the Supreme Court actually did revise the 14th amendment, that would open the door more for a legal push to revise the Second Amendment to define "well regulated militia" in today's world and possible restrictions on arms.
Those who want to revise the First Amendment to specify speech restrictions would also be lining up right behind a 14th Amendment revision, I suspect.
But, I don't think Trump cares much about 'anchor babies' anyway. I think he knows some of his strongest base supporters surely do, so he's throwing it out there again.
