Why do I like the concept of birthright citizenship? That’s a good question. Birthright citizenship manifests the principle that all men are created equal. No distinctions are drawn between the birth of the high and the low. Slave or freeman. It’s a radical principle, and some find it too difficult to stand behind.
My family immigrated to North Dakota from England. They paid for their passage and their homestead and were permitted to settle. Some of my ancestors served in both wars for the Americans. Could they do this today? Why not? Back then they didn’t have welfare in America, and anyone who came was expected to support themselves. Today it’s a different story.
I don’t think the problem is so much immigration but rather unproductive immigraton. You are attracting the wrong sorts of immigrants from bad policies.
So, do I - for citizens. Not for invaders.
Why do you want the children of invaders to have citizenship?
