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.
Boy, you are desperate to control the conversation that leads nowhere given your skewed view of immigration. You conflated 'natural born' with citizenship without stating 'citizen' at least 4 times. So here's your answers.
1. Insufficient information to determine whether an invader, pretender, criminal, or possibly citizen of any country on the planet, or otherwise subject to a non-US jurisdiction (like the one that issued a passport or visa)
2. not likely
3. A naturalized US citizen passes their citizenship on to children born to them. This would be the case had Kamala's father naturalized his US citizenship before she was born. With some conditions.
4. Same as #3
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?
