If “natural born” does not equal “ “natural born citizen”
And “American” does not equal “American Citizen”, can you please clarify the distinctions between these terms via a formal definition?
The definition you present should clearly show the critical difference between one and the other.
Go ahead please, I’m waiting ….
Just follow your own link back to Cornell Law and their case of contract foreign workers from Asia birthing kids on the job site. They were 'natural born', but not of citizens of the US. At the time American Indians were also 'natural born' but not citizens. We had to keep the Indians (native born), but not the children of Chinese contract workers.
jus soli, jus sanguinis
By your definition any country can steal the kids born of people just passing thru who drop an 'anchor baby', known by the term jus soli; kids are citizens / belong to the state, not the parents.
The alternative, jus sanguinis, provides citizenship by 'blood' (parents). By your definitions any country can invade the US just by dropping 'anchor babies'. By my definition, children belong to their parents, not the country they may have been born in.
Given that understanding, in what country is Kamala Harris a citizen, and where do her allegiances lie? Jamaica from her father, or India from her mother? Or do you believe the state (US) owns foreign kids by virtue of being born here?
I'm guessing you will continue to promote the invasion of the US by 'birthright citizenship' of 'natural born'.
