The children of foreigners ARE born foreigners, even if born here.

You think a person born in the US from a foreign born parent is not eligible to be president?

That was the entire purpose of the natural born citizen clause.

John Jay to George Washington:

“Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Command in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.”
