If birthright citizen ship ends wouldn't that mean every American would have to pass a U. S. Citizenship test to keep their citizenship?

Despite having family and grandparents that have proof of U. S. citizenship.

Personally I just think this is honestly a dumb move that will clog up the government and make nothing actually beneficial get done. I get its supposed to make everyone who's here legally even more legal and all but seriously it's like punishing people who never done wrong.

Its really ironic these same people can't even trust that the voting system that has been working and improving for literal decades is still rigged and bugged, just because votes get counted a month after election results. I can guarantee they would support all votes being counted if their candidate loss lol.

But a lot like how votes take a while to get counted and frankly I don't think anyone has the patience to literally sit at a table and accurately count a whole city's worth of votes. Which is why machines are made specifically for this. All the testing for American citizenship once all said and done will likely still keep everyone waiting for a very long time, when all that effort could've been used for much better things.

But what do you think? Is the ending of American's birthright citizenship a good thing?

I'm in support of the ending of birthright let's be less free

No I don't see ending of birthright as a good thing for americans

I'm glad i don't live in america.

I'm for ending birthright citizenship. It doesn't mean that every citizen has to take a test. It just means that at least one of your parents have to be a U. S. citizen for you to automatically be a legal citizen when you're born. The U. S. taxpayers sent $6.1 Billion overseas supporting 760,000 people (2022 data from the Department of State). While some of those are retirees, I have to wonder how many pregnant women came here, had their baby, declared citizenship for the child, returned to their home country and sit on their asses living off of benefits from American taxpayers.

The constitution needs an amendment or two, but that's not one of them. Getting money out of politics is one. The equivalent of Roe is another. Popular vote for president, preferably with instant-runoff voting (like Alaska uses for at least some races). https://ballotpedia.org/Ranked-choice_voting_(RCV)

No. Firstly, you can't punish someone for breaking a law before it became a law.
Secondly, the birthright citizenship thing only applies to children of non-citizens who are born in the US

Everyone regardless of colour or alleged place of birth should be told to present either their original birth certificate (no copies) or an upto date passport. That is the only fair way.

Maybe but, thankfully, after another 42 days, Joey's not gonna be president anymore so, we don't have anything to worry about.

I don't think ending it is good idea. Guve illegal aliens the choice to take their kids with them when they are deported or leave them here.
