The definition you present should clearly show the critical difference between one and the other.

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'.

RE: 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.

Excuse me? Where in my post did I define anything?

I simply asked questions. You haven’t answered them. Let me repeat the questions I asked and please don’t try reading into my motives. My motive is simply to know what our laws and constitution says. Here they are again :

1. If a person is born on America soil, What does it make him BY LAW?

2. If a person is born on American soil, and both his parents are here legally but NOT America Citizens at his birth, is he a natural born citizen?

3. If a person is born on American soil, and at his birth, either one of his parents is an American Citizen due to naturalization, is he a natural born citizen?

4. If a person is born on American soil, and BOTH his parents are American Citizens at the time of his birth due to naturalization, is he a natural born citizen?

Those questions are pretty straightforward and a few can be answered with a YES or NO.

Answer those please and please don’t try reading into my motives regarding whether or not I support the status quo. Those are irrelevant to my questions. My current motive is simply CLARIFICATION.
