Birthright Citizenship

[Walla Walla Dawg II]

Should we end birthright citizenship?

I think we should. No other country has birthright citizenship, and it seems to be based on an incorrect ruling of the 14th Amendment.

Take a look at the 3 minute video below and let me know what you think.

Yes.....end it. IT has always been unlawful.

Next stop, chain migration.

Immigration should be "equal". The same process for all and determined by the needs of the nation....not the immigrant.

Damn, you are smart!!!

I agree that it's a bad policy. But I don't think the historical interpretation of the 14th amendment is incorrect.

Canada does not have birthright citizenship for everyone born within its borders. Birthright citizenship in Canada is generally based on the principle of jus sanguinis (right of blood) rather than jus soli (right of soil). This means that a child's citizenship is primarily determined by the citizenship of their parents.

Wow Donn....wrong again.

Seriously, I don't know where you get your information, but you may want to try a new source.

From an AI response.

Canada does not have birthright citizenship for everyone born within its borders. Birthright citizenship in Canada is generally based on the principle of jus sanguinis (right of blood) rather than jus soli (right of soil). This means that a child's citizenship is primarily determined by the citizenship of their parents.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Jus sanguinis prevails:
While birth in Canada generally grants citizenship, there are exceptions. If a child is born in Canada to parents who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents and are also not representatives of a foreign government, their citizenship may be affected.
Historical context:
The 1977 Citizenship Act generally maintained birthright citizenship for those born in Canada, but the law has been modified over time.
Limited exceptions:
There have been changes to citizenship rules regarding those born to Canadian parents abroad. For example, the 1977 Act allowed children born abroad to Canadian parents to acquire citizenship, but with restrictions on subsequent generations passing on citizenship.
Further changes in 2015:
In 2015, further changes were made to grant citizenship to certain individuals who had never been citizens, including those born or naturalized in Canada who lost British subject status before 1947.
Essentially, while birth in Canada generally confers citizenship, it's not automatic for everyone, and the specific circumstances of the parents are crucial in determining a child's citizenship status.

Basically, it 'may' provide birthright citizenship for permanent residences, but that wouldn't include ILLEGALS.



I have to ask, did you even listen to the 3 minute video? I doubt it, or you would know how important this issue is. But you don't disappoint.

I'm not much into YouTube videos. I hadn't really considered it an issue since it had been considered a right under the constitution. So we should revisit it? Okay, while we are at it, how about the second amendment, maybe we should take a look at that, how it's been interpreted

Looking over what the SC handed down seems to me it's more about broadening the power of executive orders as anything. That could be the real impact, trump isn't going to be president forever but that power would live on
