To: Pres. Trump
From: A verified voter in Budd Lake, NJ
April 2
Good morning! I noticed that you were busy calling the United States of America “stupid” on Truth Social. Let me make sure I have this straight- it looks like you stated: “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow "Birthright" Citizenship! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
First of all- you don’t have to sign your social media posts. Your name and profile pic are already provided by the platform whenever you post. Also, WE THE PEOPLE always know when it’s you anyway- the spelling, incorrect information, and lack of standard American English grammar are a dead giveaway. But I digress. The second point is more important anyway…
It seems you believe that we are the only nation to provide citizenship to people born on that country’s land. This is completely untrue. And because I know you believe that any alternative fact you make up in your head is unimpeachable, I will happily provide proof below. The following nations allow birthright citizenship:
Countries with Unrestricted Birthright Citizenship
(Citizenship granted regardless of parents’ status)
Americas (almost all)
United states of America
Canada
Mexico
Brazil
Argentina
Chile
Peru
Venezuela
Colombia
Ecuador
Uruguay
Paraguay
Bolivia
Panama
Costa Rica
Nicaragua
Honduras
Guatemala
El Salvador
Belize
Caribbean
Jamaica
Barbados
Saint Lucia
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Grenada
Trinidad and Tobago
Antigua and Barbuda
⸻
⚖️ Countries with Conditional Birthright Citizenship
(Granted only if certain requirements are met—parent residency, legal status, etc.)
Europe
United Kingdom
Ireland
France
Germany
Africa
South Africa
Lesotho
Asia-Pacific
Pakistan
Australia
New Zealand
In fact, the only countries that markedly refute birthright citizenship are India, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, and Norway.
You don’t want to look stupid, do you? Believe me, WE THE PEOPLE are tired of looking stupid, too. Perhaps a quick google search next time?
Thanks!
