Current archaeology has identified not one but two previous periods where humans lived in present-day America before the current ‘first’ nations. The last group, immediately before the current one, died suddenly and with tool marks showing on the long bones.
Unfortunately this also allows for wealthy people to participate in “birth tourism”. So many wealthy couples from China come to the US when pregnant just to have a child born in the states. I’m sure this is prevalent from many other countries as well, but I’ve seen first hand these couples from China.
No other country allows for such an easy path to citizenship.
So if those kids move back to China after getting US birth certificates and social security numbers, do they then pay US income taxes for the rest of their lives?
I’d assume they’d be required to pay taxes once they’re old enough to, but I’d be willing to bet that most of them don’t unless they plan to ever actually move to the US.
I wonder how often the IRS actually goes after American citizens who don’t live in the US, especially ones that haven’t traveled to the US in more than 5+ years.
Edit: they might also be completely unaware that they need to pay taxes. If I’m not mistaken, the US is literally the only country in the world that requires you to pay taxes when living abroad. Logically speaking, it makes sense that you wouldn’t have to pay taxes to a country you don’t live in.
You haven’t heard more about it because it was released just a few hours ago. They saved this one for Friday evening.
The Republicans are also quite keen to end birthright citizenship, ie, if you are born on US territory, you are a citizen.
I guess they’ll be attempting to make it so you have to born on the territory to … probably two, not one, existing citizens.
Party of ‘family values’ ensuring families are torn apart! True patriots.
Service guarantees citizenship!

But wouldn’t that include almost everyone but native people?

Okey fellow human, where did you crawl out of your mothers vagina?

A section of a hospital in Canada was declared British soil (again) so that when a princess was born she was in England.
So we’ve had the reverse.
Thats amazing lol.

Are there any hard numbers on this practice?

Yeah this doesn’t actually happen and no you haven’t fucking seen it first hand.
