You will never convince me that the children of illegals are natural born. I can not imagine that at this time anyway.

Citizens they are, by decree and that creates another category. Maybe even just puts a name to add to your list. Citizen, not Natural born or Naturalized. Children of foreign parents born on American soil have been granted citizenship, even dual is possible, since it became legal...haven’t they? Is this not the anchor baby citizenship type? Not either of the other two types maybe? Citizens based on physical location at birth.

Rules change, but the Constitution is not a “living document” that can be interpreted without legal amendments, as far as I am concerned...

I do not mean to insult you, please do not use coarse language with me, it gains nothing.

Marco Rubio’s parents were not illegal immigrants.

If you want to try to invent things in the Constitution that are not there clearly spelled out - knock yourself out.

The Constitution as written by the men who wrote it - included only three types of citizenship - at the time of adoption - naturalized and natural born.

The framers obviously didn't worship Vattel like birthers began to late in 2008. The view circa 1790 was that the children of U.S. citizen parents born overseas were natural born citizens of the USA. Vattel thought they had to be diplomats or soldiers to convey that status - our founders disagreed.
