Liked the example of the person being allowed to stay in a house but that doesn’t mean they can stay forever once asked to leave. I really hope there can be some resolution to birthright citizenship and immigration in general. For one thing, I believe Americans would be more generous in having more immigrants if Americans felt we were not being taken advantage of and/or had no control over the situation. Thanks for the lecture Professor.
