Why should you have citizenship just because you were born there?
Where I live (Canada) it's jus soli and there's an entire birth tourism business because of it. Foreigners give birth here just to give their children citizenship without ever contributing.
Most of the world is jus sanguinis.
Also, you could have obtained Italian citizenship by staying until you were 18.
- nsonha 5y agoexactly why should anyone has citizenship just because they're born in a place and never left
- Mikeb85 5y agoWell citizenship as a concept (still) exists because people cost the government money. There's also externalities associated with letting people in/out. Also because of reasons you can't leave someone stateless, and a lot of citizenship is based on that too.
- iso1210 5y ago> Why should you have citizenship just because you were born there? More of a claim than if your great great grandfathers second cousins babysitters dog once visited on holiday, which seems to the be the basis that many Americans use when they say "I'm Irish".
- Mikeb85 5y agoMost African Americans have even less ties to Africa, so why are they still called "African-"?
