    "We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow “Birthright”…

    Don’t most countries allow birthright citizenship?

      Pretty much the entirety of north and south america do this, probably to ensure the end of slavery and similar colonial practices. The fact Europe doesn’t do this is kinda crazy.

        Thank you for this. I never thought of birthright citizenship this way. Where could I read more about this
