Are we really a “law of the soil” nation… or is that a modern invention?

Referencing insights from Neil Gorsuch, the Founding Fathers, and the original Naturalization Act of 1790, Mike breaks down the truth behind citizenship in early America—and exposes how today’s narrative often ignores what the Founders actually said and did.

You’ll learn:

The real difference between law of the soil (jus soli) and law of blood (jus sanguinis)
Why the Founders prioritized citizenship through allegiance—not geography
What the FIRST Congress actually passed on citizenship
And how modern interpretations may conflict with the original framework

If you’ve ever been told “anyone born here is automatically a citizen”—this episode is going to challenge that assumption.

👉 This is Civics 101… the version they didn’t teach you.
