I don’t think citizenship should be granted freely. When the child, who was born and raised in this country, of the legal resident reaches 18, he/she should be able to choose if he/she wants to become a citizen of this country or that of his parents. Then that adult child if he/she chooses can then go through the naturalization process like everyone else.
at some point our ancestors came here and all their descendants were citizens without a bunch of rigamaroll. we just need to end the abuse of birth tourism and illegal's anchor babies
parents should at least be legal residents
Residents don’t hold allegiance to this country. Citizens do.
People with green cards/ permanent legal residents seems like a fair trade-off to get rid of the birth tourism and anchor babies of illegals.

I disagree. It is not that hard to become a resident in a country, it is more difficult to become a citizen.
MAYBE a certain time limit on how long that person has been a resident. MAYBE.
