birthright citizenship

基本解释

If birthright citizenship were abolished, these children would not be U.S. citizens, at least not automatically as at present.
如果出生地国籍主义被废除，这些子女就不会是美国公民，至少他们不会像现在那样自动成为美国公民。
Some conservative libertarians are arguing that birthright citizenship is bad for the country—and some progressive libertarians are arguing that it is bad for immigrants.

But closing the loophole that encourages foreigners to come to the United States solely to make their future children U. S. citizens would not address the larger question of birthright citizenship.
