For Reference:

Light blue countries have restrictions (such as permanent residency) so I wanna hear your opinions as well.

    Surprised at the amount of commenters here fine with making kids’ lives worse because they’re afraid of brown people.

    Two weeks ago I learned about someone losing her child’s custody because the kid doesn’t have citizenship, and her PR doesn’t extend to the kid, so the dad had to get full custody or the kid had to fly back (by themselves apparently). This is the kind of shit jus soli helps with.

    If your nationality is tied to your blood rather than your identity, you have an ethnostate, not a nation.

      I mean, in most of the cases on the map it’s actually brown people afraid of other brown people. America invented racism, or at least the main kind of racism, but being a bigot in other ways is ancient and ubiquitous.

      Wow. I’m looking at all these “no” responses and they ring so much of the MAGAt’s yelling about “anchor babies”.
