    Yes, if they weren't born here and applied for citizenship. I don't have animosity towards them. The standard just isn't high enough. The wait time being long is the only thing people ever focus on.

    I did what the majority of people do to become an American citizen.
    so at what age should people born here have to take an IQ test? and if they fail what country do you boot them out to?

    You can't do anything about the people that are born here. You can control who comes here. We can also make the country desirable by the best talent in the world. If we do those things correctly then the talent of people born here won't be a problem.

    If birthright exists then none of my other stances are worth having. So of course I want to scrap birthright.

    Illegals can't vote, but they do vote. It's called voter fraud. It's why we have "sanctuary cities" and "sanctuary states" to keep those Democratic votes rolling in ; )
    How are they voting? At least in Texas we have voter ID laws.

    Yes, clearly I think there should be a distinction between rewarding illegals for coming over here and giving citizenship to the kids of citizens of this country. The same distinction that most good countries in the world do. Not sure why people want to encourage a process that is detrimental short-term and long-term to this country.

    It's the custom here. Has been for a long time.

    We're not Europe or any of the alleged good countries you're referring to.

    Btw, which countries are you referring to that you would have the USA emulate?

    How is it detrimental long-term? If you were to argue the US is one of the best countries in the world, and considering it was built on the back of immigrants (illegal and otherwise), the evidence overwhelmingly indicates it's been a massive plus.

    And don't get me wrong, I actually do think illegal immigration should be addressed and reduced as a matter of national security (and fairness), but there's really no evidence to your claim, quite the contrary.

    For the same reason California is a bottom 3 iq state. Until that is proven temporary the US is on a likely detrimental long-term track.

    Just because European immigrants turned out great doesn't mean immigrants from everywhere will be. Hillary for example wanted to flood our country with 500k refugees from countries with the highest proportion of inbreds in the world.

    In regards to eliminating the idiocy of birthright there are many countries to emulate.

    Something tells me not changing this singular thing because it's "custom here" is ultimately going to mean changing many things that have been custom here. And then you'll be saying "well that's what the people voted for".

    Ridiculous. North Dakota is top 3, completely meaningless. IQ tests classify people in the 85-115 range as "normal", which fits the criteria of both North Dakota (103.8) and California (95.5)

    Not to mention California is the current mecca of technology, and is the largest economy in the US.

    Here's another nugget you probably had no idea about: The highest % of US population that was foreign born isn't even now, it was back in 1890, at almost 15% (currently at 13.5%).

    Those are the people that built this country into a superpower. And yeah, we had birthright and everything. The main reason that bottomed out to 4% by 1970? Those people settled, and procreated more than the immigration influx.

    The legal precendent for birthright citizenship in the USA is 160 years old -- the informal custom is even older than that.

    You want to punish people for the actions of their parents. That's medieval , dude. How do you not see that?

    You want to take adults into custody, someone who has gone to school here and built a life (and perhaps a family), and tell them they have to go back to the country their parents came from because they weren't citizens.

    How far do you want to go back? What about people whose grandparents immigrated here? Great grandparents? How far until we get to your immigrant ancestors?
