LOL You cite an internet article regarding allegations from 80 years ago and I cite facts from the last 30 years. It is obvious that TODAY there is no deportation of citizens born in the U.S.
It is also obvious from this post and the other post of yours I responded to previously that you lack the legal training to intelligently discuss this subject. There is no legal basis for an “American born Children Alien.” If you are born in the US, you are a natural born citizen. I suggest your research the legal doctrine of jus soli citizenship, which is recognized in both the The United States Code (statutes passed by Congress and signed into law by the President) and case law from SCOTUS. If you wish to argue with Congress and SCOTUS, let me give you a hint, it's a losing proposition.

Sorry, but the so-called "legal doctrine of jus soli citizenship" is not the basis for natural born citizen. The SCOTUS said in the UNANIMOUS Minor v. Happersett decision that NBC = all children born in the country to parents who were its citizens. The SCOTUS cited and affirmed this definition more than 20 years later in U.S. v Wong Kim Ark when it noted both jus soli AND jus sanguinis criteria for determining the citizenship of Virigina Minor:
Minor v. Happersett (1874), 21 Wall. 162, 166-168. The decision in that case was that a woman born of citizen parents within the United States was a citizen of the United States ....

Dude, I don’t have time to bring you up to speed. Suffice it to say you have missed most of the conversation.
