You waste your time arguing with these nuts.
The same would be then be true of children of diplomats and their staff, but it's not.
Being an anchor baby doesn't make one a Natural Born Citizen.

No, actually it isn’t irrelevant. The Framers could EASILY (in fact MORE easily) just left the requirements of being POTUS as being 35 or more, having been a resident for 14 years and being a citizen. BUT THEY DIDN’T DO THAT - they added in the words “natural born” for a reason. Just a cursory knowledge of history would inform anyone that they were very concerned about divided loyalty in this office (and events from 2008 to the present have proven that concern to be valid). If you were born here you are a citizen; however, ONLY if you were born to two parents who were also citizens at that time do you grow up in a home with undivided loyalties.
Now, whether it is a wise political move to challenge her eligibility is another question - but Harris is not eligible to be POTUS…and I don’t buy the argument that because Obama got away with it that now that clause means nothing. Does the fact that someone got away with bank robbery or murder once (or 10 times) make those laws either invalid or somehow not sensible?
PLEASE-—IT IS EVERYTHING.
KAMALA is an anchor baby-—
Nothing more
We have MILLIONS OF THOSE.
Parental nationality is irrelevant.
It surprises me how persistent this idea comes up that the nationality of someone's parents will overrule the actual birthplace of an individual.
If there was some case law that was clear, maybe it might be worth looking into. But this stuff has been going on since Obama ran, and it has never persuaded anyone with authority to do something about it.
When will this idea be dropped once and for all?
Do not take the bait.

Not so fast...
NATURAL BORN CITIZEN by Morrison R. Waite the 7th SCOTUS Chief Justice
“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be a natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common -law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves , upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.”
