If one or both of your parent's is an American citizen, your citizenship is your birthright.

If neither of your parents is an American citizen, then you will not be granted citizenship.
What about foreign nationals legally in the country? Where I work, we have a decently large number of foreign nationals that come here for business purposes, some of them for years. They are still foreign citizens, but they have been in the US for a long time, contributing to the goals of the US government, and raising their families within the society. How would your proposed rules account for a child born into such a family?
