A sad tale, sadly told.
We haven’t quite advanced to the point where one’s DNA can be imprinted with an ID and citizenship data, which can be passed on to offspring. We’ll get there, eventually [/s].
Thought Canada was all for open borders? Surely, they can just bring those children into Canada without any documents. Maybe they should claim asylum - that generally works too.
as an ex-Canuck, this is old news. Canadastan doesnt operate the same way America does. We already knew this is how it’s been done. I know countless guys outside of the country who were scrutinized going back after a epriod of time. Ive said it again, if you think US border guys are aholes, Kanadian border people are worse than Soviet-era police.
You know folks, doesn’t it seem important to know your status and how the family dynamics will be affected by your time spent in foreign nations?
To learn this upon re-entry, is just idiotic.
If you didn’t care any more than this all along, don’t blame anyone but yourself for your reckless dis-concern for the laws governing such matters.
That’s what I was thinking.
Citizenship in the West has, in the last generation, become like a frequent flyer membership or credit card. A document we have, but one only care about because everyone has one and it gives us some benefits. Otherwise, we don’t care.
That attitude needs to change.
Thank mlo, seems obvious to me.
Our citizenship seems to garner us nothing.
Illegals have been given Constitutional protections even though they are not warranted.
The 14th Amendment is said to grant their children born here U. S., Citizens, when it really doesn’t. They fact is they get all the breaks. They all go in their favor.
They get breaks we can’t get for tuition. They break our laws and don’t get prosecuted or ejected.
I’ve gone so far as to laughingly suggest it might be best to renounce our citizenship and sneak in for all the perks we could get.
Weird laws....................
Seems strange, coming from Canada......................
Clearly, it garners us much less than it should. One big reason this is true, in my opinion, is that our elected officials don't generally care about American citizens - beyond lying to them well-enough to get elected. Add to this the expansive and growing ranks of government employees, who are committed to keeping the graving train and their government pensions going, and you have a formula for the issues we're facing.
They’re trying to erode birthright citizenship, and especially an anchor baby born in Canada who goes home and then passes on “Canadian” citizenship to children born in the parent’s real home country.
graving = gravy
Justin Trudeau is snatching children away from their parents
Does this mean that Ted Cruz’s daughters are not Canadian citizens?
If you're an American, you pay the taxes for their care, and then you can go bankrupt.
It's like the late Roman Empire, when Goths and other barbarians were settled with legal exemptions while the "citizens" were deemed humiliores, good only for forced labor and taxes.
Imagine that. Countries around the world are allowed to make their own citizenship laws and make people follow them. America, not so much.
