Is this a good or very bad idea about citizenship applications?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’m in favor of the US rethinking our policy of automatically giving citizenship to people born here. I think if neither parent is American it shouldn’t be automatic (although I’m open to changing my mind). If the child lives here 10+ years consecutively, legally, before the age of 18, I think they should be able to be a citizen with little effort, more of a formality. Maybe even if they are here illegally. I don’t think they need to be born here either. If a parent brings their 5 year old here because of a job, I think after 10 years the child should be able to become a citizen. I think they should be able to be president. If you are raised in America since before you can remember how does where you were born matter?
