No, to call Rubio an “anchor baby” is getting pretty racist. An “anchor baby” would not be nBC since the parents would be here illegally. Rubio parents were here legal and legal residents.

legal or illegal “resident”, the citizenship of the parents in each case is NOT US citizen. That is the crux of the child’s nationality. The “natural” citizenship of a dependent child is that of his parents, not of that of some man’s law

Under this anyone born on our soil is “NBC”, some Chinese diplomat at the UN or attending a US university or smuggled in to wash dishes could birth a child who will be our president someday

This is indeed, strictly different from an "Anchor Baby." It definitely grants 14th amendment citizenship according to "Wong Kim Ark" but the question remains.

Does a "natural citizen" require the 14th amendment to BE a citizen? No.
