You make an important point, here, once more. Should the child born on US soil of an alien mother, be granted US citizenship?
This brings up a related problem when the babe is also the issue of a US man not lawfully wedded to the alien mother.
Do not other countries have policies regarding this? Suppose a couple, born-USA citizens, have a child while travelling in France. Is that child a citizen of France or the US? Is France liable for that child's welfare henceforth? I wouldn't think so, but would only extend the protection offered a tourist or someone operating under a business visa --
Is it not up to the parent/mother to get the child back into and under the protection of the rule of its own 'native' land?

No, that child should not be a citizen.
“This brings up a related problem when the babe is also the issue of a US man not lawfully wedded to the alien mother.”
In a case like that, the child can have it one of three ways, U.S. citizen at the request of the father, foreign citizenship at the request of the mother, or dual citizenship. More than likely dual citizenship would be offered.

My wife was born in Germany while her father was stationed there, and she’s not a German citizen. The German government didn’t spend a single Pfennig on her.
IMO, hospitals should be required to ask where these illegals are from, so that the appropriate embassy or consulate can be billed for the healthcare of their citizens.
