It's been settled law for well over 100 years that it would indeed take an Amendment. It's quite simple. The Constitution says that anybody born under the jurisdiction of the United States is a US citizen.
The only way to "clear up the language" is by defining that illegal immigrants aren't under the jurisdiction of the United States. But that means, you can't arrest illegal immigrants for crimes, either. You can't even deport them.

Cadenas, they don't need an amendment just clear up the language.
