I'm an immigrant in the U.S. and I can say, YES! Americans are entitled to these jobs more than anyone else. It is their country and immigration is a privilege they accord to those they find suitable, it is not a right as some people seem to believe.
- bagacrap 6y agoAmerican citizenship is most often granted on a person's first day in the world. It's ludicrous to say that one newborn baby is more deserving of anything than another newborn baby.
- pnako 6y agoYou don't understand the concept of being a people? Citizenship is not an award, it's not something one deserves. But it's not something you can give to anyone either. How do you define yourself? Don't you have a people, a group or tribe (whatever you want to call it) you belong to? I know people who define themselves as "human" and "citizen of the world", but they are quite uncommon.
- paddez 6y ago> Citizenship Is a legal construct, which can be granted to a natural person by law. Legislation can be (relatively) easily changed. I don't think there's anything preventing legislators from granting citizenship to $PERSON for $REASON. So I'd argue that it is something that can be given - it's just that there's reasons that it's not.

- jmeister 6y agoWhat about your ancestors? Those that have contributed to this country over generations? Spilled blood in wars maybe? Built businesses or served in the govt?
- paddez 6y agoWhat about your ancestors? American citizenship is granted if you're born on American soil, regardless of your ancestry. It says nothing about requiring blood spilt.
