The thing is there is absolutely no rational reason to deny birthright citizenship. 99.999% of such citizens born here end up being valuable contributors to American society, culture and the economy. Quite often much more so than most otherwise-born Americans.

And, so what if there exists a one-off fringe case of a non-American citizen Chinese billionaire who birthed 57 children here (not even sure that's not a fictitious case made up solely to fear-monger). What's the problem? If those children stay here, they'll become valuable Americans just like all the rest of us, and if they leave, then it matters not a whit to the rest of us.
