All infants wheresoever born shall be deemed citizens if:
the father - or if he is dead, the mother - are citizens;
OR
the father - or if he is dead, the mother - become citizens;
OR
migrate hither without father or mother
Except for foundlings which become citizens, the citizenship of the infant follows that of the parents.
Look, it’s obvious to anyone who isn’t completely dedicated to your bogus doctrine that the Virginia citizenship law said that everyone born in the Commonwealth of Virginia was a citizen.
And there were no qualifications put on that.
the father - or if he is dead, the mother - are citizens;
OR
the father - or if he is dead, the mother - become citizens;
OR
migrate hither without father or mother
Except for foundlings which become citizens, the citizenship of the infant follows that of the parents.
Exactly! It's plain English.
