So the citizenship of the parents is obviously the overriding factor as that negates the fact that the child was born oversees. It's apparent that the citizenship of the parents is a prerequisite at all times whether born on American soil or not.

Absolutely not! Citizen parents ONLY matter if the child is born overseas of U.S. citizens. Otherwise, born on the soil grants immediate NBC. See my previous comment (#137)

Unless you were an Indian.

Funny how your theory has ANOTHER BIG F***ING HOLE IN IT!

I've noticed something about you. When I hammer you with a fact, you just ignore it. The fact that you ignore it tells me that you realize you are getting your ass handed to you on a particular point.

You can't explain Indian citizenship (Because it doesn't fit your theory) and You can't explain the Law New York passed denying citizenship to aliens. (Because it doesn't fit your theory.)

You end up with a cognitive disconnect because you just can't deal with facts that completely contradict what you wish to believe. Your response?

Ignore difficulties, and hope they go away.

I don’t understand why you think being born in the US, which could be an accident if foreigners are simply here temporarily, automatically confers citizenship. It’s bizarre. Citizenship is a privilege, not an act of circumstance.
