How could that matter? The RULE is that they were "born here." Any other consideration is irrelevant. That's what I keep hearing from your side.
I just don't understand how you people can believe a theory with such obvious holes in it.
Slaves were the property of citizens, they were not citizens.
After the 14th amendment they were. The question is whether or not these non-citizens became retroactively "natural born citizens." I think it's a pretty good trick to pass a law making someone "natural born" retroactively. It seems to me like the very opposite of "natural."
That is what you want to hear in order to make your argument. Born here is not the criteria. Born a citizen is. One must either be born a citizen or naturalized as a citizen. There is currently no other category.
Now why don’t you go back to arguing that Malcolm X is really the father? That should make people FINALLY take you seriously! Lol!
