But that was not what you had said. Further obfuscation does make me
think you are deliberately lying.

Yes, it does mean that. We cannot deport natural born citizens from the US.

The parents may decide to take the child with them, or they may leave
him here in someone else's care. Even if the parents do take him with,
he is still a citizen who may return at any time.

As was pointed out, your opinion does not count. The 14th Amendment
does, and SCOTUS's opinion does, but your opinion does not count.

Thanks Steve! :-) I work in health care. The hospital I used to work
for had an average of 2 to 3 anchor babies born there per week. It's
big business for coyotes to bring in pregnant Mexican women and they
cannot be turned away when they come in in labor.
