I did answer your post in my previous post, but I want to point out the definitive answer - this thread was not about what the Founders had in mind. It was about cases where the children were called "natural born citizens" and the father was an alien. The question raised was whether the child was deported with the father.
These are legal issues, and there are court rulings that address these issues. And THAT is what the thread is about.

This thread is nothing more than a continuation of the previous argument as to whether Barack Obama constitutes a "natural born citizen" under Article II as the founder's understood it. You seem to believe they were morons, and that they set the bar at the amazingly low level of just being born inside our borders, and I think they didn't spell it out more clearly because they never conceived that subsequent generations could be so stupid.
Jus Soli is contrary to the interests of any Free nation. That it serves the will of a King quite well is obvious, but to a Free nation it is a bane. Jus Soli only works in the best interest of a nation that uses the principle to force it's newly claimed subjects to serve the ruling power. Giving people citizenship rights with no commiserate requirement of loyalty or responsibility is first class idiocy.
