There you go, building again with words, advancing discussion to our anchor baby mess.

Well done.

I managed to load the Wong Kim Ark page despite my lagginess. Thank you.

Accept Wong Kim Ark over "natural born" and you get Wong Kim Ark with regard to anchor babies.

Not a good deal. It was a badly crafted decision.

Does soil make a citizen or is it immersion in a culture? Do I become a native of a country because I happened to be in their airspace for 45 minutes or is it where I was raised? More importantly, does a country deserve a claim on my life and labor because of the incident of birth or is it with the friends and family that raised me and their affiliations?

These are fundamental questions of citizenship and volition that the entitlement to indenture the crown exerted ignored with its claim of belonging to the soil. I don't think we wish to go there, especially when "the king" is a dependent and democratic majority. It reeks of the road to serfdom.
