You’re utilizing a composition fallacy and misunderstanding of the law. The quote from RvB only refers to the statutory law, not NBC. Be honest enough to acknowledge this.

I'm not the one with an honesty problem. (Cough, quote butcher, cough.)

The case was about a citizen by statute. But the quote is clear enough - the United States follow the English concept, jus soli. And jus soli means "born on the soil = natural born."

Actually you ARE (cough, cough, dishonest namecaller.) No one butchered any quotes and I backed it up several times and explained EXACTLY how and why you were wrong. I'll do it again because I love to rub it in.

The case was about a citizen by statute.

That's what I just said. Is there some part of "The quote from RvB ONLY refers to statutory law" that you didn't understand??

But the quote is clear enough - the United States follow the English concept, jus soli.

... "in this area" of "our law." The statement was qualified. The Supreme Court in WKA said NBC is defined outside the law, so it's NOT talking about the same thing. Read it. Learn it. Understand it. You're not comprehending and acknowledging the words that were used.

And jus soli means "born on the soil = natural born."

Wrong. It does NOT mean natural-born. The Supreme Court said in at least TWO decisions that natural-born = born in the country to parents who were its citizens. The court was UNANIMOUS on this definition in Minor. You're trying to connect dots that were NEVER connected by the court. Never.
