Nowhere in the Wong Ark opinion does it say he was a natural born citizen. As far as GrAy goes is to call Ark a native born. The Supreme Court has reserved the term for people born in the US to citizens of foreigners. GrAy states native born in the facts of the case and does the same in his conclusion of his opinion. In his dictum, GrAy makes a comparison between a native born, [Wong Ark], and a natural born citizen. If the Obot websites tell you different, they are misleading you down the wrong path.
I’ve read the case several times. Wong is a citizen. he is a citizen because he is born here, and his parents don’t fit into the exceptions. There are only two kinds of citizens. The ones born here, and the naturalized one. Throughout the case they rely on English common law that being born in the country makes one a natural born subject. That is the same thing as a natural born citizen.
The Indiana case is reasoned out the same way. I think I gave you that link. If not, here it is. Pages 13-18. Short, sweet, simple, if you’re born here, you’re a natural born citizen.
