ACTUAL English law: English-born children of alien parents were "denizens," NOT natural born subjects:
"To place the Children, born within this Realm, of foreign Parents, in Degree for the first Birth or Descent only, as Aliens made Denizens, and not otherwise.

Not sure why you believe erroneously-held opinions when the ACTUAL English law clearly states otherwise.

[Mr Rogers]

Probably because you are taking it completely out of context. You don’t seem to understand the difference between someone born in a country, and those born to citizens or subjects outside of the country. Thus you take one sentence and end up facing the wrong direction.

The WKA court discussed the matter at length, citing sources. In context. Context being something birthers aren’t very good at...

[Mr Rogers]

Blackstone, 1765:

“The children of aliens, born here in England, are, generally speaking, natural-born subjects, and entitled to all the privileges of such.”

I think I’ll trust his opinion of British law instead of yours...

[sometime lurker]

You are wrong. Blackstone's commentaries are considered authoritative, and he says otherwise. You are quoting something brought up in the House of Commons in 1604. A little more digging would show you that it never became law.

in 1604 Commons debated a measure to pin down the status of English born progeny of aliens, granting those "of 'the first birth or descent only,' and born within the realm the limited position of a denizen." The House rejected the bill on its third reading.
