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

ROFLMAO! Trying to transpose the facts are we?

Tucker clearly places the division of the two classes of inhabitants FIRST.

The people inhabiting the different states might be divided into two classes:

Then, he stipulates that natural borns are born inside and aliens born outside.

-----

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

Obviously, they very much WERE, or Tucker would not have referred to them as 'inhabitants' first and aliens BORN second.

NOWHERE does he say anything about people who are NOT inhabitants or who 'have not been born yet'.

Nothing like twisting the facts to fit your fiction, is there?

I don’t even know what you’re trying to say here.

An inhabitant, by definition, is someone who inhabits a place.

It’s someone who LIVES in a particular location.

If a person was born OUTSIDE of a location, he is not and CAN NOT BE, by DEFINITION, an inhabitant of that location UNTIL AND UNLESS HE MOVES THERE.

Let’s use a concrete example.

You were born in New York. Are you an inhabitant of California? No. Not until and unless you move to California and INHABIT California.

As long as you are living in New York, you are an inhabitant of New York.

Once you move to California, you become an inhabitant of California.

I’m not even sure what you’re driving at. But whatever it is, it simply doesn’t make any sense.
