Citizens are not required to bare allegiance or there wouldn't be any democrats.
I guess you didn't notice that Obama changed the oath the other day so that Muslims are not required to swear allegiance to the Constitution.
Makes sense, the only problem is we don’t have GOP majority in both sides of Congress willing to do ANYTHING even approaching conservative norms. All the GOP pols do is go along to get along, then when election time comes they promise this time they will really really act like a Republican, they get re-elected and then do nothing again.
Any wonder why Trump is popular? It shouldn’t be.
It can go wherever they want it to go and no farther since we are governed by our betters.
“According to the author even foreign citizens here legally are not subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. so their children can’t be citizens. His words and not mine.”
Rights, Privileges, and Duties of Aliens
Legal immigrants enjoy the opportunity to reside within the United States without having obtained U.S. citizenship. While they have no legal or constitutional rights to remain within the country, they may stay provided that the government renews their visas at the expiration of the previous visa. In return for the U.S. granting temporary residence, these aliens owe “temporary allegiance” to the United States. Temporary allegiance involves obeying all U.S. laws while within the U.S., implied consent to U.S. court jurisdiction for alleged violation of tort and commercial laws, and submission to the court system’s power of subpoena.

[In other words, aliens are subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. laws and courts; and your author is spouting utter nonsense.]
Can they refuse to consent to U.S. court jurisdiction?
Naturalized, however, is not the same as natural born.
“Can they refuse to consent to U.S. court jurisdiction?”
Generally speaking I doubt it with respect to domestic controversies and criminal law, but I suspect there may be some special exceptions in certain areas of civil law, maritime law, and martial law in which the Law of Nations or the Laws of War would involve international issues.
Yup.
Also, it turns out they didn't come over on a student visa for his mother. His father, an engineer, got a skilled-worker visa under the 1965 immigration law.
