    tbh I had no idea Europe was so racist. Citizenship based on “blood” sounds like something out of the middle ages.

      Countries that use Jus Soli usually also have Jus Sanguinis. The USA for example. My friend is a US citizen despite not being born there because his mother is a US citizen.

      Not having Jus Sanguinis would be downright horrible. Imagine your mother moves back to her home country and if you want to follow her you have to clear immigration hurdles.

        Yeah having it as well is good. Using only it is inhumane and barbaric.

          For that matter, aren’t borders kinda inhumane and barbaric in the first place? They declare some people as second-rate. They trap people in poor dictatorships, but are oh so permeable for conflict minerals or products of sweatshops

          Could your point be that generally more ways to become citizen is a better than less?
