"A nation, or the sovereign who represents it, may grant to a foreigner the quality of citizen, by admitting him into the body of the political society. This is called naturalisation. There are some states in which the sovereign cannot grant to a foreigner all the rights of citizens,for example, that of holding public offices,and where, consequently, he has the power of granting only an imperfect naturalisation. It is here a regulation of the fundamental law, which limits the power of the prince. In other states, as in England and Poland, the prince cannot naturalise a single person, without the concurrence of the nation represented by its deputies. Finally, there are states, as, for instance, England, where the single circumstance of being born in the country naturalises the children of a foreigner."

A nation cannot perpetuate itself unless its citizens are born from citizens. A nation should desire this.
Just because a citizen marries a foreigner..has children..before both parents become citizens..does not mean they can change the rules to make their children natural born citizens.
Jefferson wrote...they will come here..and distort our laws..
A lot of distorting going on..to gain citizenship and natural born citizenship.
The corrupt politicians are afraid to say enough is enough.
Subject to jurisdiction...is not limited to foreign diplomats.

being born in the country naturalises the children of a foreigner." There you go, you even have the quote. Why were you lying in post 28 if you had the quote proving your lie right in front of you?
