It’s going as well as you’d expect with his best ever Deputy AG

Trump seems to be getting more bonkers by the day doesn’t he.
At what point do they cart him off for a spell in the rubber room? |  | | |

Is this the Scottish/German Trump, or ein different one? |  |

Maybe quite soon, I guess.
Not sure how big a screw up he'd have to make to trigger that though... leaving NATO might not be enough, but Greenland seemed over the line, from the way he backed off. [Post edited 1 Apr 18:27]

I think you’re being a tad unfair there. He’s as spot on as usual here when saying the US is the only country in the world stupid enough to offer birthright citizenship.
As long as you exclude Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela, Gambia, Lesotho, and Tuvalu of course!
Nurse for Trump!  |  |

Ah, but do those countries actually exist though? Surely they're just made up!
Or you could argue that most of them are technically "America"
No, you're right, get the nurses in... |  |

It's funny, innit. It's like the Emperor's new clothes - everyone around him can see that he's batsh!t crazy (and has been for some time, think bleach) and is getting worse day by day, contradicting himself every two minutes and raving like a total fkn lunatic, bringing the world to the brink - and yet they sit beside him and say "Yes, Mr President" or say to pollsters "We love Tr*mp!" while he shoving it right up them, and not in a good way. In a way like nobody has seen before, with numbers like nobody............. Cuckoo! Cuckoo! | |

It is odd that most of those countries are in the Americas, and outwith that area no other county has birthright citizenship. |  |

And it's why I am a Canadian citizen despite not having Canadian parents and leaving there when I was aged 1. [Post edited 1 Apr 20:09]

Regardless (and I'm no expert), but it is written into the constitution, so surely would require an amendment? |  |

No, birthright citizenship. |
It’s no less odd than the more common bloodline citizenship. You can be a citizen of our country for 90 years and never have spent a second here. That’s got to be more odd (along with most hereditary inheritances). At least being born somewhere involves an actual tie. | |

A lot of odd stuff when it comes to passports.

And they extend birthright to all those born outside of their current borders, but on the island of Ireland, in Northern Ireland. | | | |

If you aren't automatically a citizen of the country in which you are born (which, going by the fairly short list of countries that DO offer this, must apply to most countries), then what happens if you are refused? And at what point does this decision happen, either way? I don't remember applying for citizenship for the UK (I was born here and have always lived here, but why do I qualify when apparently the UK doesn't offer automatic citizenship?) - is it something you get when your birth certificate is filled out? Are there loads of stateless people wandering the earth, looking for a country that will allow them citizenship? Genuinely, I don't understand this. | | | |

Not since 2005.
“ Following an amendment to the Constitution of Ireland, citizenship by birth is no longer an automatic entitlement to everyone born on the island of Ireland.”

One parent needs to be a British subject or have settled status. If somebody is born here to an undocumented person then they are not automatically given British citizenship.

It is a bit isn’t it. Aren’t all South American countries former colonies? The US and Canada are relatively new countries as well. So maybe that timing together with the geography could have something to do with it. At a guess anyway. | |

so you could be stateless if neither parent qualifies? Feels like some people could exist in a sort of limbo.
