Lotta people in here have never had to immigrate. If the first thing you think of when you hear “immigration” is brown people trying to trick their way into a country, you might be a terrible fucking person.
Jus soli should always be an option because the harder it is to get citizenship, the harder that family’s life is going to be, regardless of circumstances. No single person should have to suffer just because of where they or their parents were born when there are other options.
The question wasn’t about expecting people to be born in the country they wish to live, it was about whether citizenship by jus soli should be an option without conditions.
As a whole, yes, I believe immigration should be easier. Citizenship by birth should be one of the routes available.
The question wasn’t about expecting people to be born in the country they wish to live, it was about whether citizenship by jus soli should be an option without conditions.
But why should it be an option if you don’t and/or don’t intend to live there?
I don’t see why voting or having political influence in a country you have no commitment to is a good thing. It seems to me that it just makes it easier to abuse the systems in place without having to live with the consequences.

Wouldn’t the correct answer in that case just be to make it easier to immigrate and gain citizenship, rather than expecting you to be born there?

Because it should always be an option? An option is optional, which means you don’t have to use it.
