Really? What problems do I have with my way of thinking?

If you get rid of the "birth right citizenship" that would probably get rid of your citizenship as well as mine. If you're for unintended consequences, then by all means get rid of that notion.
I was kidding about your way of thinking.
As for birth right citizenship, how would that get rid of yours or mine? My parents were both citizens of this country and I was born here. That is the requirement in most European countries. The problem we have in this country is the only requirement to being a citizen is to be born here. Doesn't matter if your parents were citizens or not. LIke I said, that was an amendment to the constitution to deal with freed slaves after the civil war. It was never intended to be used in the way it is today. If you live in Germany for instance, and you have a work visa but are not a citizen and you have children born in Germany while you are there under a work visa, they are not citizens of Germany. That is the way it should be here as well.
If you think that liberals, progressives and communists are all the same because they're wealthy,
Huh? If that is what you think I was saying then you obviously misunderstood my point.
