I don't believe every anchor baby can become President. If you are a child of immigrants who become Naturalized citizens, then yes I believe you can.

Once you become a Naturalized citizen you are agreeing to give up your native citizenship and you are declaring your allegiance to the United States. You are then subject to the jurisdiction of.

Think about it, if you are here illegally, under whose protection are you? If you run into trouble who do you go to? Our government or do you go to your Embassy? We see it now with the Mexicans. The diplomats of their native countries are their advocates. Their allegiance is STILL with their native government.

Rep. Bingham commenting on Section 1992 said it means “every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.”

Naturalized citizens are not required to give up their previous citizenship(s). I became a naturalized US citizen in 2007, and was legally allowed to keep my two other existing citizenships.

You are then subject to the jurisdiction of.

Except for diplomats and maybe some Indians living on reservations, everyone present within the territory of the United States is subject to its jurisdiction.

Illegals are fully protected under the US Constitution.
