You forget that these "citizens" begat "natural born citizens. Anyone born there of citizen parents is now a natural born citizen, whether congress said so of the original citizens or not.

The language is concise. There is no sunset date in the statute so how is it eliminated to allow natural born citizens to be born?
@Immigration and Nationality Act
The Immigration and Nationality Act, or INA, was created in 1952. Before the INA, a variety of statutes governed immigration law but were not organized in one location. The McCarran-Walter bill of 1952, Public Law No. 82-414, collected and codified many existing provisions and reorganized the structure of immigration law. The Act has been amended many times over the years, but is still the basic body of immigration law.
@INA: ACT 305 - PERSONS BORN IN HAWAII
Sec. 305. [8 U.S.C. 1405] A person born in Hawaii on or after August 12, 1898, and before April 30, 1900, is declared to be a citizen of the United States as of April 30, 1900. A person born in Hawaii on or after April 30, 1900, is a citizen of the United States at birth. A person who was a citizen of the Republic of Hawaii on August 12, 1898, is declared to be a citizen of the United States as of April 30, 1900.
No sunset provision!
