Children of illegal aliens are not even citizens, that is a misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment that must be corrected.
They are certainly not natural born citizens, eligible to be President.
John Jay in his letter to George Washington insisted on the term natural born citizen to preclude any foreign influence on the Presidency.

No foreign birth
No foreign parent(s)
No foreign citizenship(s)
George P. Bush could have chosen to be a Mexican national owing to his mother being a Mexican national, he is ineligible.
The problem lies not with the language, or even with its interpretation, but with the political will to let the Law of the Land speak for itself.
As with the Second Amendment, this is neither vague or ambiguous, and the context within the document, supported by histories, commentaries and analyses in the early history of the nation make it clear what a Natural-Born Citizen is, but both sides of the so-called aisle are both specifically and generally loathe to uphold the Constitution on any issue, especially this one.
Specifically, they want illegals to be citizens for votes (Democrats) or jobs (Republicans); generally, they want to avoid the unseemly precedent of actually having to adhere to the actual wording of the Constitution they have sworn to uphold - that could get messy on any issue where they want to ignore it.
