The child always follows the allegiance of the father. http://www.usnaturalborncitizen.com/meaningofnaturalborn.html
Harris was born Oct. 20, 1964, and her father was a citizen of Jamaica at the time of her birth.
Specifically, Chapter 2 (entitled Citizenship) of the Jamaica Constitution, Section 3C states:
Every person born outside Jamaica shall become a citizen of Jamaica –
-
on the sixth day of August 1962, in the case of a person born before that date; or
-
on the date of his/her birth, in the case of a person born on or after the sixth day of August 1962,
if, at that date, his/her father or mother is a citizen of Jamaica by birth, descent, or
registration by virtue of marriage to a citizen of Jamaica.
I will take your comments under advisement and do further reading. I agree that the Constitution should be clearer on this, and that the subsequent "Naturalization Laws" can become a bit of a slapfest. I still think though that "Natural Born Citizen" is intended to be either a child born to an American Father on US soil, or an American couple anywhere in the world, and under no circumstances should a "Natural Born Citizen" be the child of non-Americans, regardless of place of birth.
Your interpretation of the 14th Amendment is how we got here. If we do not apply it to Freed Slaves, we apply it to everyone, and everyone is a citizen or pretty quickly can be. If there were no Welfare State I might actually agree with that idea. But there is so we can't. Or more importantly "must not". This "Anchor Baby" idea must end.
I never said Harris was not a citizen. I said in my view I don't think she should be. My focus was and is on "Natural Born".
