Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?

These MAGA Nazis want to get rid of Birthright Citizenship, which every nation in the world recognizes. If they won’t even respect that, they aren’t going to respect anything else - including Green Cards or Naturalization.
Bottom line - if you were born in another country, you are an enemy, and they want you out.

Well, this is flat out not true at all 😅
There are ~30-35 that recognize some degree of birthright citizenship under certain circumstances, but very few countries have unconditional birthright citizenship, particularly outside of the Americas.

Ok, maybe not all, but the countries we tend to equate ourselves with recognize it.
How many countries isn’t the point, anyway. It’s in the Constitution, in any case.
