She is a natural born citizen under U.S. law and U.S.S.C. rulings. Selectively interpreting laws, court cases, and reading into her parent's fully legal immigration what is not there will not change anything. Her parents were in the immigration process at the time of her birth and had renounced citizenship to their parent countries. The U.S.S.C. has stated that being in the process of becoming a citizen changes things with the law. Kamala never had any country other than the U.S. that could claim her as a citizen.
There are only two classes of American citizens, naturalized and natural born. There is no third class of ambiguous or indeterminate. Since no country could legally claim her, her parents were becoming U.S. citizens, and she was born on U.S. soil, she is a natural born citizen. If a case is brought the courts arguing otherwise it will lose.
This is a losing strategy that will only make conservatives look bad.
Her father is still a Jamaican, never became a US citizen.
Anything she signs, any vote she casts, any utterance of hers, is invalid.
Not true. Please review the documents. Kamala's mother stated her nationality was as a subject of India. She never naturalized to the US, instead she extended her "temporary" student visa into an stay of 16 years, from 1958 to 1976.

Not true. Please review the documents. Kamala Harris was born a citizen to both India and Jamaica in 1964. The parents were not "becoming" US citizens in 1964; In fact, available documents refute that claim, as Kamala's father initiated naturalization much later, in 1976.
"If a case is brought the courts arguing otherwise it will lose."
There is no court which has heard this case on its own merits, instead they deflected the issue by arguing a lack of "standing"
"This is a losing strategy that will only make conservatives look bad."
Perhaps. But it is the truth.
No, they weren't.
They were here on student visas, and were not permanent resident aliens (held a green card) for at least five years before qualifying to apply for citizenship.
There is no legal way that they were "becoming US citizens."
