The problem is that birth right citizenship is in the constitution. So if Trump can get rid of that, he can get ignore the Bill of Rights as well.
EDIT: Also basically every country has birthright citizenship usually be having a citizen as a parent. What is different in the Americas is jus soli, so being born in the country making you a citizen.
That's exactly the difference that Trump is harping on
Basically every country in earth does not use birth right citizenship. It's basically only a feature of new world colony countries.
The majority of the world does not use it. The americas may have a lot of landmass they do not have the majority of people.
It's mostly based on parentage or blood. You arnt ever born with out citizenship some country always lays claim to ownership of your person. But it's not normally based on the borders ownership, but the person's giving birth ownership.
No. Basically every country does NOT have birthright citizenship. If I was born in Spain, that would not make me a Spanish citizen. Since neither of my parents are Spanish citizens.
I would get citizenship from my parents. Not from the location I was born.
Edit: ok I see now what you mean with "birthright citizenship". But that's not the term used elsewhere. Yes. Everyone born has the right to a citizenship. But since we cannot be made stateless.... you will never end up born without it.
