Question
Should people be able to choose what country to live in?
Position2 of 3

Yes, conditionally- people have the right to choose where they live based on heritage or culture

Passports cannot be handed out indiscriminately, but those with a blood or ancestral connection to a country should not have their right to citizenship obstructed. Jus Sanguinis, or citizenship of descent, is commonplace is many countries, but rarely goes far enough- it should be extended to the capability of nations such as Ireland or Italy.

    Birthright citizenship is prone to exploitation, and long overdue for a revision. This is particularly so in the US where its inclusion is unique and bizarre contrasted against the citizenship policies of most other 1st world countries.
