re: #96 makeitstop

The fact that birthright citizenship is even up for debate here shows how far we’ve slipped in the past two years. It should be a fucking non-starter.

Because our immigration and naturalization system is such a clusterfuck it breeds issues like that.

If we can reform that, then birthright citizenship is a non-issue.

NB: I live in a country where nationality was determined by the nationality of the Father until 200. That means that my oldest daughter was born in Germany but not German.

The law was amended in 2000 to allow birthright for all children born to legal residents. So her siblings were born German, and the oldest daughter was given a chance to apply retroactively.

But that is serious apples and oranges, there is no comparing the situation here and the one between the US & Mexico.
