[quote=deadzone]My point is that the majority of real people (not politicians) are against birth right citizenship. Liberals are the ones that defend it politically, but ask real people on the street if they agree with it or not. Most of my friends are traditional Democrats and they think it is a non-sensical policy.[/quote]
“Most of my friends” is rarely an effective argument. Most of my friends have PhDs. That doesn’t mean “normal” people do. There’s really no such thing as a “traditional” Democrat, except perhaps white working class Union households. As an example, African Americans didn’t really start voting democratic until the 60s. The Democrats are the “Big Tent” party in the US and have far more diverse opinions on most issues than the Republicans do.
I think most “real people” hold conflicting, complicated positions on immigration and birth right citizenship.
