never made sense why we were one of the (extremely few) countries to allow this to begin with, and one of the only developed ones huge win for US citizens https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1938606745741570259

It makes sense historically, when countries were wanting population growth. Most countries in the Americas have this, so it made sense among neighbors and peers. It also makes sense in a humane way. If a child is born in a country and grows up there, it seems cruel to not allow them citizenship. Of course times, and the needs of a country, change and laws should change to best serve that country and its citizenship. Half my family escaped WW1 or 2 by coming to North America, half came before that. Many died in those wars too. Pretty sure we used some birthright citizenship along the way. How bout you?

i get that aspect, and agree that as things change so should probably laws etc a child who is born here and grows up here hopefully has US citizen parents and it's a non issue as that would be jus sanguinis my family came through ellis island so entirely legal, and the rest including myself were jus sanguinis

Crazy. Estimated 40% of living Americans descendants of people who came through Ellis Island. Pretty cool history.
