I don't see what's hard to understand about that quote. Aliens have always been people who were born outside of a country (or "State").

No, aliens are born outside of the allegiance of a country.

Tucker says their are 2 types of INHABTANTS in the State and that natural borns are born inside and aliens are born outside...even though they both are inhabiting the State.

Prior to the adoption of the constitution, the people inhabiting the different states might be divided into two classes: natural born citizens, or those born within the state, and aliens, or such as were born out of it.”

See, this is what I mean by a constant stream of bullsh*t. No matter how much bullsh*t you debunk or explain, birthers always have a fresh supply on the truck. And then they come along and DEMAND that you "answer" the latest bullsh*t. And if you get tired of the stupid game and don't answer, then they scream it's because you can't.

Oh, please. Get off you sanctimonious high horse, you putz.

Should I drag out the links from some of our other run-ins? You know... where you called me liar, told me I should 'stay in the kitchen' or even had the gall to threaten me with the owner of the website ALL because I flatly refused to eat your cr@p sandwich and turn around and say

"Please, Sir, may I have another"?

We can argue about that, but that's not what the quote says.

Tucker says their are 2 types of INHABTANTS in the State and that natural borns are born inside and aliens are born outside...even though they both are inhabiting the State.

Prior to the adoption of the constitution, the people inhabiting the different states might be divided into two classes: natural born citizens, or those born within the state, and aliens, or such as were born out of it.”

Tucker says aliens are people who were born outside of the state, but who inhabit it now.

Obviously, at the time they were born, they were not inhabitants of the state.

You can't be an inhabitant of a state you don't live in yet.

I don't know what's so hard about that.

Here is the complete quote from Tucker:

“A very respectable political writer makes the following pertinent remarks upon this subject. “Prior to the adoption of the constitution, the people inhabiting the different states might be divided into two classes: natural born citizens, or those born within the state, and aliens, or such as were born out of it. The first, by their birth-right, became entitled to all the privileges of citizens; the second, were entitled to none, but such as were held out and given by the laws of the respective states prior to their emigration.”

The very respectable political writer he is referring to was George Nicholas.

He was a member of the Virginia Ratifying Convention and a good friend of James Madison.

What he is saying is that people inhabiting a state are of two types. The first are the natural born (born within the state) or the second, aliens (born outside of the state). The inhabitants of a state are not necessarily born there.
