Europe has tons of issues, but at least people know what it means to be British or German or French or Swedish.
True, but only in the weak sense that those identities have deeper roots. When around one-fifth of the people in Britain, Germany, and Sweden are foreign-born, it’s hard to say everyone agrees on what British, German, French, or Swedish really means. Europe’s identities are old, sure, but they’re definitely still argued over.

And furthermore, I think it’s disingenuous to assume that people that are born here that become citizens will ultimately vote Democrat that’s awful judgmental if you ask me

That is a sad story, and I hate it happened. In an ideal country none of that would ever happen, but we don’t have that. I still say life here is pretty great comparatively. Unfortunately there will always be bad things that happen in any society. We should definitely be doing more to address it

Agree. While some say nothing has changed by yesterday’s ruling, it needs changing.

Stopping birthright citizenships would have been a solid start.

Once a Dem president sets foot in office, everything that was accomplished with immigration will be reversed and more.

We've had Birth right citizenship for over a hundred years. It was changed by executive order but it really should be changed by amendment and have the states vote on it. It isn't like it was just pushed on us. It's been in place since the 14th amendment.

when did birthright citizenship start?
Birthright citizenship was established in the United States in 1868 with the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment. Its Citizenship Clause explicitly guaranteed that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside".

If we aren't a country because of birthright citizenship, then we haven't been one for a century and a half.

Youre right. They came in large numbers on ships.

Disagree completely.
We are a nation attempting to cohabitate with one group that’s strongly nationalist, capitalist and embraces traditional American values and another that is globalist, socialist and often first or second generation immigrant and that despises traditional American values.
The two sides can’t persist within a shared government indefinitely, one side has to win and the other lose or a split will take place.

Occasionally. And I have no issues doing so when I do decide to go. Do you?

It would have been something. I’m not really arguing for birthright. Just saying that I believe being American still means something.
And the best thing that could happen as Americans is more people become engaged with their local communities and do what they can to make it a better place. That’s how we change things imo. I’ve long given up on the government and a-hole politicians to do anything worthwhile. What makes this country great is the everyday people coming together. Maybe I’m wrong, but I still think that is possible.

That’s not true. It’s reading Wong Kim Ark back into the 14th amendment. Asinine.

Exactly because I live in a country where I’m free to do so, and that’s a pretty great thing.
