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
I definitely agree we should put an end to birth tourism and illegal anchor babies. Although, I don’t think green card holders and permanent legal residents should be allowed the right to anchor babies either.
If green card holders and permanent legal residents want their children to become legal citizens, then they, themselves, should go through the Naturalization process, pledging allegiance to this country; otherwise they would be raising a child whose parents allegiance is to another country.
That’s just my personal opinion.
I do believe that there are plenty of people, although they are from another country, in this country who love this country just as much as most citizens do. There are also, unfortunately, citizens of this country who do not love this country at all or not as much as those who are not citizens, but reside here legally, yet love this country with all their heart.
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.
