I certainly think that citizenship should be derived only from legal immigrant or citizen parents, i.e. children of illegals should not have birthright citizenship. No child should benefit so greatly from the crimes of his parent.
Should children of non-citizen legal immigrants be denied the right to run for President or VP? Many would say yes, I suppose, but we should have had that debate before one was elected President.
Agree. In addition, according to Selective Service Rules regarding aliens residing in the US:
NON-CITIZENS
Some non-citizens are required to register. Others are not. Noncitizens who are not required to register with Selective Service include men who are in the U.S. on student or visitor visas, and men who are part of a diplomatic or trade mission and their families. Almost all other male noncitizens are required to register, including illegal aliens, legal permanent residents, and refugees. The general rule is that if a male noncitizen takes up residency in the U.S. before his 26th birthday, he must register with Selective Service. For a more detailed list of which non-citizens must register,
Registration is the law. A man who fails to register may, if prosecuted and convicted, face a fine of up to $250,000 and/or a prison term of up to five years.
CITIZENSHIP
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) makes registration with Selective Service a condition for U.S. citizenship if the man first arrived in the U.S. before his 26th birthday.
In addition to such perks as financial aid, jobs, and schools being tied to SService for American citizens, this is another law that illegal immigrants have broken, but not penalized.

.
“We” had that debate in 1787, and that is why the constitution requires citizen parents for Natural Born citizen candidates.
Your weakness and disrespect for the constitution is appaling.
