In those few, extremely rare cases are enough to fuck up a nation’s politics, immigration isn’t the problem.
They’re rare, but not impossible, esspecially when it comes to the involvement of powerful/rich governments, corporations or individuals. We already have enough of that, no reason to make it easier for effectively no gain.
Edit: esspecially considering that ability to chose the location your child is born in is based primarily off wealth rather than moral character or anything else positive.
Making immigration more difficult already benefits the wealthy. Not having birthright citizenship won’t change that.
Citizens are already being born without any questions about their character. And voting. And changing politics. Because foreign influence doesn’t come from some kind of sleeper agent citizen who was bred to take down governments, it comes through social media, embargos, lobbying and data harvesting—which is way easier than some kind of Bourne Identity plot.
But it’s become clear you’re arguing in case of a specific worst case scenario that I don’t believe is any more likely when jus soli comes with few or no conditions.
Unkess you have specific data to support jus soli’s direct responsibility for the modern day manipulation by foreign influence, I don’t want to continue this conversation.
