Incorrect. See Book 1, para 214, last sentence.
Hope this helps.
“Book 1, para 214, last sentence”:
“Finally, there are states, as, for instance, England, where the single circumstance of being born in the country naturalizes the children of a foreigner.”
Alright, when I said, “Vattel appears to say that the only people who qualify as subjects or citizens at all are those born to citizen parents,” what I meant is that the only people who can qualify as BORN citizens are the children of two citizens. And this confirms it. He calls children of the soil naturalized, which in our language means by virtue of some mechanism after birth.
We all know the 14th amendment names two types of citizens: 1) children born in the U.S. and under the jurisdiction thereof, and 2) naturalized citizens. If Vattel ever had any authority on the subject, it has been lost. We no longer use his language. Soil babies are not naturalized.
