A “nation” is a community, and without conducting a full investigation into every individual birth, the two main indicators that a child will likely have strong ties to a national community are:
the parents already belong to that national community
the parents reside permanently in the country. Almost all countries in the mid shade of blue use this criteria for restricted birthright.
A nation isn’t a community, at least not in any real, human sense. We barely even know many of our neighbors, let alone those across the country.
The fact that it’s common doesn’t make it right. All of these policies were adopted following the rise of race science, fascism, nationalism, etc. It’s surprising people haven’t started to push back on them more yet.
