re: #68 Obdicut

The problems the EU is having with their permanent underclass are because they don’t have birthright citizenship.

Without full citizenship, the children grow up disaffected from the society, second-class, with less of a stake in it, less reason to want it to succeed.

I think if you removed birthright citizenship, you’d get a situation dare I say similar to France. There were many people in the generation of my grandparents who became citizens simply by being born here and they were some of the most proud Americans you’d know.
