“If we have a lawyer out there who can provide an opinion, I would love to hear it.”

Do your own research, and pay no attention to what lawyers say. Look to what the founders themselves said and did. Contemplate the fact that the Children of British Loyalists born in the United States were regarded as British Subjects by both sides.
Recall also that Slaves did not receive citizenship from having been born here (which they would have according to the English Law theory) until the 14th amendment. Indians were not recognized as citizens until the Indian citizenship act of 1924.
I have just given you probably a hundred million examples of cases where the "English Law" theory is wrong. People born here were not automatically citizens. Laws had to be changed to MAKE them citizens.
