Trump wants to end his birthright citizenship. Where do other countries stand?


In recent years, several countries have amended citizenship laws and are now living in the country, and due to concerns about immigration, national identities, and so-called “birth tourism” about “birth tourism” in which people visit the country to give birth. They tighten or cancel.

India, for example, once gave automatic citizenship to those born in that soil. However, over time, concerns about illegal immigration, particularly from Bangladesh, have led to restrictions.

Since December 2004, children born in India are citizens only if both parents are Indians or if one parent is a citizen and the other is not considered an illegal immigrant.

Many African countries that historically followed Jus Soli under the colonial legal system abandoned it after gaining independence. Today, most require that at least one parent be a citizen or permanent resident.

Citizenship is even more restrictive in most Asian countries, primarily determined by descent, as seen in countries such as China, Malaysia and Singapore.

There have been major changes in Europe as well. Ireland was the last country in the region that allowed unlimited Juss Solli.

After a June 2004 poll, 79% of voters approved constitutional amendments, and then approved constitutional amendments that required at least one parent to be a citizen, permanent resident or legal temporary resident. After that, this policy was abolished.

The government said changes were necessary as foreign women were traveling to Ireland to give birth to obtain an EU passport for the baby.
