That passage is being misquoted and taken out of context. Wooddeson was discussing British allegiance during colonial transitions, not modern U.S. citizenship. U.S. citizenship is defined by the 14th Amendment and Supreme Court precedent like United States v. Wong Kim Ark, not by parental ‘election’ or any idea that foreign crowns control people born in the U.S.
"Children born in the United States of America, since the recognition of their independence, are aliens or natural subjects, according to the election of their parents at the time of the separation." (Wooddesson's Lectures on the Law of England, 1842) Any child born in the new world that is attached to a certificate of live birth or other proof of citizenship is a subject of Britain, Spain, or Portugal and therefore an alien to the United States and will be deported.
