The natural born son of an alien may pass along his property, lands, etc.

But may NOT inherit, as English-born children of English subjects CAN. That's a privilege restricted to ACTUAL natural born subjects, NOT Blackstone's interpretation of "generally speaking" natural born subjects.

Blackstone needed to use the disclaimer "generally speaking" because he knew the rights and privileges of English-born children of aliens were NOT the same as those of English-born children of English subjects.

Blackstone deliberately used a disclaimer. I know it's hard for you to wrap your mind around that, but it is what it is... a DISCLAIMER.

Sheesh. Can you not read English? The disclaimer was because there are exceptions, as several of us have laid out for you many times.

There are clear statements that these are natural born subjects. More to the point, the Supreme Court has recognized Jus Soli “born on the soil” in the US. You don’t like it? Fine, get the law changed in the US, but don’t make yourself ridiculous by claiming British common law didn’t say what it clearly said.
