-- So it is your assertion that two clearly birthright citizens, ordered abroad by the US government, could potentially give birth to a child who was "less" of a citizen than their parents? That is ludicrous at its face, and no reasonable person would attribute that intent to the Constitution. --

Your rule is "citizenship by family," but the rule applied under the US constitution is "citizenship by nation."

Naturalized citizens aren't any less of a citizen than a native born citizen. No thoughtful person would think that. It is ludicrous on its face, that a naturalized citizen is any less a citizen than one born on the land. This principle of equality of citizenship is burned into the pages of thousands of court decisions over the past two centuries. The inequality that you posit is odious.

I've given you case law authority that proves you are wrong. Go stick you head in the sand. I'm writing you off as a bigot, on account of your view that naturalized citizens are second class.

It is not I who believe that naturalized citizens are “second class” - but rather those who believe that if my children were born while I was serving my country overseas, rather than a couple of years later in the US, they would be ineligible to be president.
