Daily Beast -Donald Trump says the 14th Amendment, which gives citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, is a uniquely American mistake. He’s totally wrong.
“We are the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits,” he told Axios on HBO. “It’s ridiculous. And it has to end.”
.... In reality, America is by no means the only country that grants citizenship this way. The Center for Immigration Studies names 30 of the world’s 194 countries, including Canada and Mexico, that offer jus soli, or the law of the soil.
