Did I ever say the child was an alien? (specific reply, please)

Yes. In #4, you wrote, "8 U.S. Code is titled 'Aliens and Nationality'....You have to be an Alien first for anything therein to apply."

The section under discussion applies to children who are born a citizen. Therefore, it seemed that you must think that somehow a child born a citizen--someone to whom § 1401 applies--is "an Alien first."

I've been trying to figure out just when that is. Seems like a simple enough question.

Where in reply 4 did I say the child was an alien?
Here it is in its entirety...

I used to respect the man. If he's too stupid to understand that 8 U.S. Code is titled "Aliens and Nationality" then there is no helping him.

Where did I call the child an alien?

The section under discussion applies to children who are born a citizen.
The section under discussion applies to children who are born to aliens.
What great lengths you went to in misconstruing that.

Therefore, it seemed that you must think that somehow a child born a citizen--someone to whom § 1401 applies--is "an Alien first."

Ah, "it seemed" a certain way. Thanks for clarifying that.
