If you actually manage to read Vattel, you would know that he discusses naturalization at birth. He cited the example of Britain, which had jus soli citizens — those were not “naturels ou indignes” aka “natural-born citizens.” As Vattel pointed out those citizens are considered naturalized at birth. See Book I, Chapter XIX, paragraph 214, last sentence.

In fact, Vattel, as cited in the Venus case, made three classifications:

  1. natural born
  2. those who are naturalized
  3. and those who are mere inhabitants

It's a real pity that Vattel didn't deal with the situation of children born to citizens born in a foreign country in this work, isn't it? Then we wouldn't have an argument, would we?

Don’t know if it’s utter hatred of America or just rank ignorance and illiteracy fueling your remarks... but now that I’ve cured you of the latter, that leaves only the former as an option if you continue.

Couldn't be illiteracy, so it must be a deep "über hatred" of America. Perhaps you could get some of your fellow militia patriots together to convene a common law grand jury and take action against me...that is if chem-trail spewing black helicopters with the chip-inserted MK-ULTRA conditioned pilots don't come and get you first.

need I say "/sarc"?
