Birthright

The practice of birthright citizenship is only in the Americas with two exceptions, Azerbaijan and Pakistan. No European countries, Asian countries or Africa allow such practice. Birthright means if you are born in the US you are a citizen even if your parents are not citizens. This right is in the constitution and not likely to be changed as Trump would like. It is true that the intent of the law is being abused when pregnant women sneak across the border and stay in a motel for a few days and then have the baby. Once the baby grows up it can use form I 30 to apply for citizenship for relatives. Over the years this has happened many times. Having a secure border will minimize this problem and would be much easier than changing the constitution. Many believe that Trump is aware of this but is bring up the subject to focus attention on illegal crossings.
