Oh, as a policy matter, I agree. The tighter the restrictions the better, and I think stemming the tide of illegals is worth a little inconvenience.

My response was wholly personal (and, frankly, selfish).

Didn’t bother to read the article. Likely the argument presented by the state was not presented. It is simple logic, actually. If the parents / guardians do not have U.S. id, but have id from some other country of origin, then clearly they are subject to the jurisdiction of that country of origin, and thereby excluded from birthright by the plain words of the Constitution.
