[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, the United States finally joins the rest of the world in 2025 where citizenship requires at least one parent be a citizen.  Way to go with common sense USA.  Birthright citizenship as it was previously done was nutso. [/quote]

Sorry, but this EO is unconstitutional.

If you don't like the Fourteenth Amendment, then propose an amendment  to change it.[/quote]

Scotus will uphold it

The mother and father's citizenship and status are not on the birth certificate.

This is going to create thousands, millions of stateless babies.  When we need all the people we can get, as we approach population decline.[/quote]

I’m ambivalent on this… It won’t hold in the courts. If Republicans want to take action on this, they can try to amend the constitution. However, good luck getting 2/3s of both houses and 3/4 of state legislatures to pass this.

Also, to be clear, these babies would not be stateless. They would receive the citizenship of their parents’ home country. It’s called jus sanguini-citizenship through the blood[/quote]

Not every country has jus sanguinis, or straightforward jus sanguinis. Relative to the biases noted in this thread, for example, India and China do not have straightforward jus sanguinis.[/quote]
