Comment on "Border Czar" Tom Homan unveils new deportation plan

Lovstuhagen@hilariouschaos.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

This kind of reminds me of when anti-deportation activists took (staged?) pictures of wives/children greeting their fathers across the border fence, and someone had pointed out that the policy never actually broke up families…

What broke up families is people deciding for themselves that living in the USA was worth more than living with their father.

I would also point out: they have every right to return when they are 18, which is a hell of a massive right that is completely unearned - most nations do not have any form of birth right citizenship, and I think they are all generally ones in which nobody is particularly eager to obtain their rights of citizenship.

Having a restricted form of birthright citizenship is not the same as having no form of it. However there are more countries then I thought that do not have it at all.

At present, 33 countries in the world (and two territories) have unrestricted birthright citizenship, also known as jus soli, and another 32 nations have some form of restricted birthright citizenship

  Right, it would make sense to have a restricted form, if by that it was meant that the non-citizens giving birth have to have a proper, legal status like permanent residency or some other form of long-term residency.
