“Are Chinese children born in this country to share with the descendants of the patriots of the American Revolution...

My theory is not that literal. Posterity of We the People does not mean the direct descendants of the original citizens.

"We the People" is a term of art to represent the citizens at large - at any time. The Posterity of We the People means the children of citizens. A foreign-born naturalized citizen becomes one of the body of We the People, and then their future children (their posterity) are natural born citizens.

They didn’t mean it literally either. “Descendants” does not imply only direct descendants.
