This US birthright citizenship has been used and abused. I hope it's done away with in its present state. EUROPE:
Most European countries do not grant unconditional birthright citizenship, instead they base citizenship primarily on parental nationality (jus sanguinis) or they impose residency conditions.
=*= PORTUGAL: Conditional Jus Soli
One parent must have legally resided for at least 1 year before birth.
=*= FRANCE: Conditional Jus Soli
Citizenship if a parent was also born in France or meets residency requirements.
=*= GERMANY: Conditional Jus Soli
At least one parent must have been a legal resident for 8+ years.
=*= IRELAND: Conditional Jus Soli
Requires one parent to have legally resided for 3 of the previous 4 years before birth.
=*= UNITED KINGDOM: Conditional Jus Soli
Citizenship if a parent is a British citizen or settled in the UK.
=*= THE NETHERLANDS:
They do not grant citizenship by birthplace to children born in the country if neither parent is Dutch. Citizenship is primarily based on descent (ius sanguinis).
ASIA:
In Asia, birthright citizenship is rare. Many Asian nations, such as Japan, China, and India base nationality solely on parents’ citizenship status.
