> Citizenship should be performance based as opposed to based upon place of birth
Wait, what? I thought you were going to suggest that people should be free to live/work wherever, which I agree with in principle, but also think it's not a change that can be made overnight. You seem to be suggesting that everybody has to earn the right to live in a particular country, even if they were born there. If that was universal, where would the people who fail the test go?

I'm not a fan of the idea that buying a bunch of property or investing a bunch of money in a local business without living there would give the right to have an equal voice in the governing of that territory as somebody who makes their home there.
