To the editor: Defining citizenship is a dilemma in lots of international locations all over the world (“Ending birthright citizenship will mostly affect U.S. citizens,” Might 20). The U.S. isn’t any exception. In the previous few a long time, many international locations relaxed the concept that acquiring citizenship meant having to surrender the one from the nation of delivery. I’ve plenty of buddies who’ve twin citizenship and some who’re even residents of three international locations. That’s a very good factor.
The present U.S. administration appears intent on making it harder to be a part of our nation, however the pattern must be towards the elimination of borders. The truth that a child is born on one aspect of a river or a mountain versus the opposite ought to matter little. Each infants ought to have related alternatives. Hopefully, the xenophobia we hear today will give approach to the idea that no matter hometown, we’re all a part of the human race.
