So you believe that by NBC the Framers meant, ‘a child born to two foreign parents, dropped in the US on a short maternity stay & then taken back to be raised by its parents in its true home/place/foreign culture/foreign tradition. You honestly believe that is what the Framers meant?
If your answer is yes, then nothing anyone can say will ever penetrate the miasma. The idea that this is what the Framers had in mind is psychotic. No better word for it—full bore psychosis.

Did they mean such a thing to be? No. But neither did they specifically prohibit it.
They never considered such a thing was possible, because the technology didn't exist in their day. Travel between continents in mere hours? Crazy talk.
The Founders did not anticipate every possible situation we find ourselves in now. Fortunately, in their wisdom they gave us a way of properly adapting and modifying the Constitution as the need arises. That's what we should be doing, instead of pretending that the Constitution says something it does not.
