” He only needs to be born a citizen. If he’s born in the US, his parent’s citizenship doesn’t matter.
That last statement is just plain silly. “
It may be silly, but that’s the way law is interpreted these days. That’s why we have millions in the USA with ALL citizenship rights.

$6 Billion a Year for Mexican Anchor Babies

I committed a sin of omission. The last TWO sentences together were silly. Anchor babies do not become Natural Born Citizens, which is the status required for POTUS.
I think you’re comparing apples and oranges. You’re absolutely right, that a child born here of foreign parents is considered a citizen.
But that has nothing to do with the NBC requirement for POTUS.
