“Exactly how illiterate are you?

Or do you just hate America?”

I’ve at least read the 14th amendment, like every other schoolboy/girl. It says:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States “

Get that? Born OR naturalized. Meaning people born in the U.S. aren’t naturalized citizens. They’re born citizens. Yet Vattel says children born on a nation’s soil not of citizen parents are naturalized. How to explain this discrepancy? Easy. Vattel used the word naturalized differently than we.

Maybe you just don’t realize that’s an exclusive clause. But why use your admitted illiteracy as an excuse for rewriting the Constitution in favor of foreign dictatorship?

Wouldn’t it be more logical to overcome your illiteracy, and educate yourself? You seem determined rather to revel in it.
