Only U.S., Canada Offer Birthright Citizenship

Liz Peek, writing in The Fiscal Times about the rarity of birthright citizenship. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
Among developed nations, only the U.S. and Canada still offer automatic citizenship to children born on their soil. Not a single European country follows the practice. We take this right for granted. 
A legal expert on the PBS News Hour earlier this evening said several European countries once had the right but repealed it. We should emulate Europe in this regard.
