[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When virtually every other sane first world country doesn't have it? For starters, Spain, the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Greece, Australia, Japan, Singapore, China, Colombia, nor the Czech Republic and any of the many other countries liberals say they're going to move to do not have birth right citizenship.  What Trump is proposing isn't extreme at all, so why is there resistance to enacting common sense reform?  It's also funny too, because as these elections showed, many coming over the border who eventually establish themselves aren't even Democratic voters either, so the Dems may actually seriously want to rethink they're immigration and citizenship policies before they blindly stand up for making it extremely easy for letting in millions of super catholic people who are now showing to be socially conservative and supporters of traditional family values.  There was a time when the 14th amendment served a purpose, but it is the year 2024.  Birthright citizenship is now much more of a security liability than anything.  Why shouldn't we end it when most of the countries liberals espouse and hold up as role models don't even have it? [/quote]

So, how would it work in your mind? Someone on a valid visa (say H-1B) applies for a green card, gets it and waits 5 years and gets citizenship. Will that process stay or go? What happens to their three kids one of whom was born on the legal visa, one during GC and one after they became a citizen?

What about the same children scenario for folks that entered illegally and later 'normalized' and eventually became citizen?[/quote]

Why is this hard to understand. You apply for citizenship while you have a green card. If you have kids while on a green card, they're not citizens but citizens of your home country.  You simply apply for their citizenship as well.   The kid born after you are a citizen is a citizen.

As if this same scenario doesn't happen in Germany, the UK, or Japan. Not hard to figure out.  You act like this is advanced calculus and no other countries in the world have this figured out. [/quote]

Wash DC people should know this by now. Most are friends from all over who legally immigrated[/quote]
