According to your interprertation of Tucker, an alien can be born outside a State while at the same time he is an inhabitant of it. How can this be?

I don't even know what you're talking about. The question doesn't even make any sense.

Inhabitants are people who CURRENTLY live in a State.

They include people who were born there and have lived there their entire lives, and also people who have moved in from elsewhere.

The early States were considered independent States, and yet bound together to form an entity called the United States of America.

Here's Tucker's quote:

“Prior to the adoption of the constitution, the people inhabiting the different states might be divided into two classes: natural born citizens, or those born within the state, and aliens, or such as were born out of it.”

I don't see what's hard to understand about that quote. Aliens have always been people who were born outside of a country (or "State"). If they moved into the country (or "State") then they became inhabitants of that State.

But until and unless they became naturalized citizens or subjects of that State, they were called "aliens." Just as they always had been.

Except that there was a slight difference between "aliens" and "foreigners." The term "alien" was used more often for a "foreigner" who was currently on our soil. If they were still in their own country, they were more often called "foreigners."

See, this is what I mean by a constant stream of bullsh*t. No matter how much bullsh*t you debunk or explain, birthers always have a fresh supply on the truck. And then they come along and DEMAND that you "answer" the latest bullsh*t. And if you get tired of the stupid game and don't answer, then they scream it's because you can't.

Only in almost most instances, you've already answered the bullsh*t 3 or 4 times before already.

Not in this particular case. But in most cases.

I don't see what's hard to understand about that quote. Aliens have always been people who were born outside of a country (or "State").

No, aliens are born outside of the allegiance of a country.

Tucker says their are 2 types of INHABTANTS in the State and that natural borns are born inside and aliens are born outside...even though they both are inhabiting the State.

Prior to the adoption of the constitution, the people inhabiting the different states might be divided into two classes: natural born citizens, or those born within the state, and aliens, or such as were born out of it.”
