Countries that offer birthright citizenship

HERE ARE ALL THE DEVELOPED NATIONS OF THE WORLD
THAT OFFER BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP TO THE BABIES OF TOURISTS AND ILLEGAL ALIENS:
1. United States of America
2.

That's right, every other modern developed nation in the world has gotten rid of birthright citizenship policies. Yet, most of U.S. news media and politicians the last two weeks have ridiculed the comments by some other politicians that it is time for the U.S. to put an end to birthright citizenship for tourists and illegal aliens.

Folks, the U.S. stands alone.

There used to be all kinds of Developed countries that gave away their citizenship as freely as we do in the U.S. But one by one they all have recognized the folly of that policy.

SOME MODERN COUNTRIES THAT RECENTLY ENDED

THEIR BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP POLICY:

Canada was the last non-U.S. holdout. Illegal aliens stopped getting citizenship
for their babies in 2009.
Australia's birthright citizenship requirements are much more stringent than
those of H.R. 1868 and took effect in 2007..
New Zealand repealed in 2006
Ireland repealed in 2005
France repealed in 1993
India repealed in 1987
United Kingdom repealed in 1983
Portugal repealed in 1981
The United States is the laughing stock of the modern world.

It's not just Mexico and South America who are sending illegals across our borders. Wake up America .

Illegal aliens from China, India, Russia, the Middle East and a host of other nations are flooding the country. Look around you! We are giving away our culture and economic and fiscal strength because our borders are not secure and we bestow citizenship irresponsibly.

In my opinion, the reason our formerly Democrat controlled congress has not acted to repeal this policy, is that they want to guarantee they will have a voter base who will keep them in power. WE WILL LOSE OUR COUNTRY, if we continue to give away citizenship to the children of everyone who can commit the sex act, and give birth. Please call your congressional representatives.

Our aim is not to enter the fray over the proposed legislation but to check Beck's claim that the United States is the only country in the world that grants automatic citizenship to anyone born in the country.

And to that end, we refer to a report from NumbersUSA, a group dedicated to reducing immigration levels, and which backs Deal's bill. They found that in addition to the United States, there are 33 countries that offer automatic, unconditional citizenship to children born within their borders.

They offer several qualifiers. No European nations grant birthright citizenship (but we note that Romania is on the list). Canada is the only developed nation other than the United States. No nation in the group other than the United States has more than 200 million people. Only the United States, Pakistan and Mexico have 50 million or more.

It might be surprising to Americans that automatic citizenship isn't more common in the developed world, but the bottom line is Beck made a blanket statement that is just wrong. We rate his statement False.

In a number of countries, the automatic application of jus soli has been modified to impose some additional requirements for children of foreign parents, such as the parent being a permanent resident or having lived in the country for a period of time. Jus soli has been modified in the following countries:
* United Kingdom on 1 January 1983
* Australia on 20 August 1986[3]
* Republic of Ireland on 1 January 2005[3]
* New Zealand on 1 January 2006[3]
* South Africa on 6 October 1995[3]
* France also operates a modified form of jus soli
