natural born and citizen at birth are the same

Are you sure about this? What about anchor babies?

The Naturalization Act of 1790 refers to "children of citizens." Anchor babies are children of non-citizens who were born here.

How do you reconcile the language in the Naturalization Act of 1790 and the concept of anchor babies both being natural born citizens at birth, within the context of the language of the Act?

Not to mention it's pretty stupid to cite a "Naturalization" act, in support of "natural born."
