This article criticizes the concept of birthright citizenship, arguing that it leads to a flawed immigration policy. It compares the rights of children born to illegal immigrants with those born to naturalized citizens and questions the fairness of the system. The author also tackles the common argument that America's history as a nation of immigrants justifies open borders, suggesting it's a simplistic and emotionally driven stance that ignores the complexities of immigration.
told the truth with characteristic bluntness recently when he said, “Just because we were founded by immigrants doesn’t mean that 240 years later, we have to have the dumbest immigration policy in the world.”about birthright citizenship and President Donald Trump’s order that federal agencies cease issuing citizenship papers to children of illegal immigrants or other foreigners temporarily in the United States.
The legal controversy over birthright citizenship is based on interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which was adopted to entrench the abolition of slavery and ensure that former slaves were always in future recognized as American citizens with all the rights and protections that this status confers on others.
It is this simplistic sentiment that inspires, if that is not too flattering a word, a limitless number of dreary cartoons depicting theto the world’s poor. The cartoonists intend these to deliver an acid rebuke to those who believe immigration is a nuanced issue and that current citizens should have a say in limiting the flow of foreigners into the country.
Such arguments are coupled to the assertion that the U.S. is not a blood and soil nation but a country founded on universal principles to which all people can subscribe. This does not, however, fit well into the rest of the Left’s agenda, for it also insists that people arriving from different cultures should not have to integrate or accept those universal principles — should not agree to live by America’s traditional values but should retain their own.
