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.

We're not talking your if, and buts or wild conjecture, Jeff.

We're talking about a quote from Tucker.

Well, of course it doesn't to you. It would throw your whole 'if-you-were-born-here-you're-a-citizen' theory right out the window.
