#i could also maybe get behind making the children of unlawful residents us nationals?

I remember you mentioning you were opposed to birthright citizenship, what do you propose instead?

have i said that? i might have. i only wonder because this is something i actually have mixed feelings about. "birthright citizenship" (jus soli) has a pretty long history in english common law which is something i value. but with advances in transportation tech and how fast large numbers of people are able to move around the world, i think this becomes a bit of an issue.

so, ideally, i would be in favor of a restricted form of birthright citizenship. one that only gives citizenship to children of lawful residents and excludes the children of unlawful residents.

and obviously the other options are being born to american citizens obviously gives you citizenship by blood (the /true/ birthright citizenship imo) and naturalization gives you citizenship.
