NBC simply means citizen by birthright.
Nice switch and ploy! So does that "right" come through natural law or positive law?

If a kid is entitled to citizenship by birth, he's natural born. Period.
OMG! Your own words give you away.

@entitlement
An individual's right to receive a value or benefit provided by law.

By positive law, not natural law! Positive law is legislation! Congress can only pass laws on naturalization.

@positive law
Those laws that have been duly enacted by a properly instituted and popularly recognized branch of government.

Entitlement to citizenship is not the same thing as entitlement to welfare or food stamps or social security or medicare (but I repeat myself).

Let me ask you this...
Is your right to free speech a positive law or a law of nature?
