Countries with Birthright Citizenship 2026

If the debate point is "be like Canada" or "be like" Mexico or Venezuela or even Pakistan, it's not a winning argument. Jus soli is nice Latin, but the Supreme Court has to address the Constitution.

It will be an interesting decision, to be sure.

There is no restriction or exception to birthright citizenship in our country. Trump may have a good idea but his EO doesn't change the Constitution.

Jus soli will stand.

Congress or an amendment to the Constitution could change things.

Jus soli will stand. And I'm betting it will be unanimous.

I believe Scalia addressed it at some point and it is what it says...born here...you're a citizen.

Interesting that most of the Americas have unrestricted birthright citizenship while it's rare on other continents. I wonder why that is?
