Hey everyone,
I’ve been seeing a lot of talk about a certain country possibly changing its birthright citizenship rule, and a lot of people seem to think it’s a bad idea. I’m from New Zealand, where we don’t automatically give citizenship just because you’re born here (same in Australia). So to me, it seems kind of normal not to have that rule, and I don’t really understand why it’s such a big issue in this country.
In New Zealand, citizenship depends on things like having a parent who’s a citizen, not just being born here. And we don’t get any complaints about it. So, I’m wondering—why would changing birthright citizenship be such a problem in this country? What could go wrong if they did? I’m not picking a side, I’m just curious.
