Children of immigrants who were born in foreign countries while their parents were still citizens of that country become US Citizens by derivative naturalization. They don't have to go through a naturalization process.

The fact that they don't go through a naturalization process does not make them "natural born citizens."

If they are born in this country to alien parents, they get 14th amendment (statutory) citizenship which is still not natural citizenship.

But in point of fact they do go through the naturalization process. That's how the get their citizenship to begin with. Parents are naturalized. Children under 18 become citizens as a result of the same naturalization process. Nobody is suggesting that they are considered natural-born citizens. Except maybe you.

Yeah, it is. It isn't naturalized citizenship so it has be natural-born citizenship. It has to be one or the other.
