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

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.

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

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

The parents go through a naturalization process. The Children do not.

Naturalization does not necessarily entail a process. Whether a “process” is involved or not is not determinative, Congressional Act is.
