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

No that is not true. Children of illegal aliens, foreign occupiers, foreign Heads of States of govts, foreign spies, or diplomats are not eligible.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."
