My understanding is that we are the only nation that has not outlawed birthright citizenship. Apparently Canada has not. That still puts us in the vast minority.

Obviously your understanding is incorrect. I provided you with the link that goes into some detail about birthright citizenship and how the US compares globally. Canada has birthright citizenship, not "apparently" has not outlawed birthright citizenship.

Absolutely. There are only two advanced economies that have birthright citizenship, Canada and us. Ireland was the last country in Europe to get rid of birthright citizenship and that was thru a constitutional amendment.

The 30 or so countries that have birthright citizenship are mostly in the New World, a legacy of European colonialism.

We should eliminate birthright citizenship and dual citizenship.
