As from non-American perspective, dual citizenship is the best way to open up the job markets and avoid wars. American tends to only think about tax savings.
As the child of legal immigrants to the USA from India, i got my US citizenship by birth in the USA. Both parents were Green Card holders residing in Chicago at the time. Dad got his US citizenship two years after my birth. Mom git hers 5 years after my birth. BTW.. Dad answered the Vietnam Draft card he got. Both of my parents renounced their India citizenship after naturalization. India doesn't allow dusl citizenship. So, what this means is I could technically qualify for a full India citizenship, but why? The US has a better passport....and I live and work in the USA. I ain't getting an India passport and giving up my US passport. There is one thing I have done though. I got my OCI from India. It is actually a visa not a citizenship for India... almost like their Green Card. I have it. My wife have no interest. FYI. My wife of 19 years is a dual US snd Vietnam Citizen. She immigrated to US from Vietnam after marrying me. So by my wife I have acquired a Vietnam residence visa also. We have talked about relocating to Mexico. Will pursue a Mexican citizenship when we cross that bridge.
My Portuguese grandpa lived in Brazil for more than 80 years and never bothered to ask for naturalisation. If that so, he’d lost his Portuguese citizenship as Brazil didn’t allow dual citizenship in the past.
Spain has birthright citizenship for children of parents from 14 different countries. It s called citizenship by simples presuncion. If a child of 2 colombian parents is born in spain the child is spanish by birth. It s a gap in the law but it works
@@MuzzaHukka right point is if you are brazilian and arrive in spain 7 months pregnant and you do the process ( which if you pick the right municipaçity takes 1 month) you get a spanish by origin child. And a 5 year validity residence permit for the parents in which you don t need means to support yourself.
@@MuzzaHukka if you can t take advantage of this spanish gap in the law. You have portugal if you are 7 months pregnant give birth and put the child in kindergarden for 1 school year you get child ´passport.
last year a child born in morocco before her mother entered a migrant boat got spanish citizenship by birth. A court said her mum couldn´t register her camerronian because she didn even got moroccan birth certificate so court ruled spanish by birth as to take in account the supreme interest of the child.
@@MuzzaHukka point is with little effort anyone can have an EU child. Through spain in case you can take advantage of the gap in the law or through portugal. Arrive 7 months pregnant in portugal the baby attends 1 year of kindergarden in portugal you get the child ´s passport.
Portugal has almost full birthright citizenship. 1 parent is a legal resident or resides in the country illegally for 1 year. Even if your child does not immediatelty qualify he will after one parent gets legal residency or the child go to school for just one year in portugal.If your child is born in portugal he is almost sure to get citizenship. Parents get residence permit. Even if you give birth you leave and return when the child is 10 he still only needs 1 year of schooling in portugal.
This is 100% true, I don't think people realize this is a huge opportunity to get an EU passport for their children. I have a friend who gave birth in Portugal after living here for like 6 months and they got Portuguese citizenship for their twins because they had legal residency at the time of the birth.
100 percent true huge opportunity. Specially if you are an entrepreneur you get a D7 residence visa you are qualified for an EU child from the day you step in portugal.
Because they are portuguese by birth those children have right to: spanish citizenship in 2 years; brazilian citizenship in 1 year; mexican citizenship in 2 years. Easier right of abode in macau; easier movement in portuguese speaking countries; easier movement in the ibero american space. If you are wealthy and you get a d7 visa or d8 visa the baby automatically becomes portuguese.
@@MuzzaHukka just easier way to get residence permit in portugal and no portuguese language test required. Also brazilians by naturalization do NOT qualify for fast track spanish citizenship only NATURAL BORN . Brazilizans by birth have fast track colombian citizenhio mexican as well hondurian and so on but only natural born.
Ireland removed citizenship by birthright the year I was born 😭 and then my parents never got me Irish citizenship (even though my dad naturalised) after I turned 5 (easy process) and then we left Ireland

The problem with dual citizenship with USA, is if you want to give up the citizenship in the future (due to changing taxes/politics) you will be forced to pay whatever you would have paid if there was no tax treaty between the two countries.
The 14th Amendment of The Constitution of the United States starts with "Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." The language suggests a person born or naturalized in the United States is automatically a citizen for life regardless of whether the person wants citizenship or not, and suggests United States birthright citizenship is mandatory. Interestingly, US statuatory law allows United States citizens to renounce their citizenship, free at first, but later $400 and now $2500. The language also suggests if a person renounces their United States citizenship, that person could sue to have their citizenship, technically not restored, but never renounced to begin with. If poiticians knew, would they exploit this loophole by requiring renounced citizens to pay foreign sourced income taxes? Let's hope politicians don't discover this. Some restrictions could be legislated through the "subject to jurisdiction" clause, but it's unclear to me which legislated restrictions would or would not be acceptable to SCOTUS. Another question is "Could illegal immigrants and their American born children be legislatively declared 'not subject ot jurisdiction and exclude birthright citizenship for them?" With diplomats and their children are mostly immune to deportation, where could American born non-citizens be deported to?

Come to Mexico :) He’s talking about citizenship by birthright I.e. by being born on that country’s land. Among other countries, Mexico allows this, and I’ve been quite a few Mexican ‘anchor babies’ born to foreign parents ;)
When North and South America were colonized, they needed people from other continents. 500 years ago, people would go on boats without returning, not knowing that one day would be much easier to move around in the world, it did not make sense their children born in the new world without the right of citizenship.

Indians are very calculated in what they do (not saying this as a slight).

What happens to a child born in a country that is birth by blood whose parents are only residents there and not from there and those parents are from a country that is birth by soil where citizenship is not extended to their children if the children weren't born there? Can this stateless scenario happen?
Kids automatically get the citizenship of their parents. There is zero circumstance where a child won't get one citizenship or residency (i.e. OCI, green card etc.). If a child was truly stateless then after 10yrs of legal residence in a country they'd be able to naturalize. Your scenario is impossible to occur in real life though.
Nope! Like all sane countries they only give children citizenship automatically if one or both parents are legal citizens. Your child would automatically get the citizenships you and your spouse have like in all normal countries (i.e. automatic descent / real birthright (by blood)). No one should ever be given citizenship simply for being born in a country - that endorses illegal migration.
(1) The problem with unconditional birthright citizenship, is that it encourages illegal and casual/passing entrants to come and have anchor babies! (2) This guy is simply describing what some other countries are doing, in terms of granting the abused unconditional birthright citizenship to children of parents who have no attachment or stake in the country that they’re just visiting or passing through.

The Constitution is sacrosanct. You guys always say so now you want to change it. No, no and no. And by the way if a foreigner who is not a legal permanent resident of the US gives birth to a child in the US like while on vacation, they are already barred from re-entering the US. The child is a citizen, but that foreigner parent will be deported and declared persona non-grata from entering the US under current law. There is no such thing as an "anchor baby." What they have done to the child is cursed them with a lifelong tax burden from a country they probably will never even live in nor want to.
