Other countries, including Switzerland and Japan, do not grant citizenship automatically unless one or more parents are also citizens.
tbh this wouldn’t be a bad move to make
not really
I'm pretty sure that's how it works in most countries, though. It works that way in the Netherlands as well. If the mother has the Dutch nationality, the child automatically gains it. If the father has the Dutch nationality, they have to be married or have a registered partnership for the child to gain the Dutch nationality. If the father has the Dutch nationality and the couple are not married or have a registered partnership, the child still gains the Dutch nationality if the father recognizes the child as its own.
In the case of lesbian couples the non-biological mother counts as the "father" in the above scenarios, iirc.
these are the types of investigations that have whithered under trump's ICE because they're using all the resources to go after pointless deportations instead
This would no doubt result in a non-trivial number of children growing up in the US with no real chance of success because they were born to wrong parents. Without something like the DREAM Act, getting rid of that is a non-starter.
So a child grows us in the US. It's the only country they know, they only speak English fluently... then all of a sudden they're told to go back to Mexico, a nations that's alien to them and where they don't speak the language.
Sounds right.
Rather than citizens it should be permanent residents, even if they're illegal residents. Requiring the parents to be citizens is a bit backwards in my opinion since there are plenty of permanent residents in a given country who are not citizens.
Good point, didn’t think of it. Trump holding DREAMers hostage isn’t doing this idea any favors, even if he did like it.
Why.
see:
Dumb reason, statistically improbable, and a poor excuse. Their country should be doing more to help reintegrate their citizens who were deported from another nation for being there illegally.
It's worked just fine in Canada. I also believe it's simply the right thing to do. Unlike you, can also experience empathy for my fellow human beings.
How exactly is it reintegration when the individual in question was never given a chance to integrate to begin with what with being far too young when they left the country in the first place? That'd be like kicking me out of the US to some country whose language I don't speak and telling me that it's my family's fault and then laying responsibility on the fact I couldn't function in that country with that country. It literally makes zero sense.
Uh
where's the evidence for this claim
What is it with you taking stances that need evidence, providing jack shit, then demanding it from the other person? DACA has in the past covered around 800 thousand, and as of 2017 covered 689,000. The estimates from the proposed DREAM act, which would provide further rights to more people, range from as few as 10 thousand, to over 2 million. It should be easy for you to look up the total number of immigrants and compare, since you are such a big fan of statistics.
Second, why is it dumb? When you only speak English and America is the only country you know, the only country you want to work in, the only country you want to contribute to, the logical thing for the US government to do is... send you to Tijuana? Instead of providing a path to citizenship to a person that's already a functioning and contributing member of society?
And also - because they were raised there - shares the nations values.
