Such children are snuck into citizenship despite the explicit remarks to the contrary of the writers of the 14th amendment hence there appears to be no reason why they would not be considered “natural born” is they are considered citizens at all.

The issue was raised and the proposers of the amendment made it clear that such children were not to become citizens since the parents were not considered “under the jurisdiction of” the United States being interlopers.
