To the editor: Defining citizenship is a dilemma in lots of international locations world wide (“Ending birthright citizenship will mostly affect U.S. citizens,” Might 20). The U.S. is not any exception. In the previous couple of a long time, many international locations relaxed the concept acquiring citizenship meant having to surrender the one from the nation of delivery. I’ve plenty of associates who’ve twin citizenship and some who’re even residents of three international locations. That’s a great factor.
The present U.S. administration appears intent on making it tougher to be a part of our nation, however the development ought to be towards the elimination of borders. The truth that a child is born on one facet 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 lately will give strategy to the idea that no matter place of origin, we’re all a part of the human race.
