Their constant shilling for open borders is why I unsubscribed from Reason.

She has a point, we lucked into it. Being born to U.S. citizenship is the equivalent of being born on third, but that doesn't mean we should burn it down by, say, letting Mexico's new Lenin send another 50 million our way.

There’s no luck involved. Your ancestors (likely) made a decision for the benefit of their decendents.

I agree on ancestors, but I inherited the fruits of that. My own initiative did not land me in the U.S., any more than the initiative of most African Americans did not land them here. My duty is to help protect what has been left to us including raising kids who are not victims

We’re on same page. Your “lucked into it” struck a chord - I take exception to nuts who think it’s just to undo the work of their ancestors because they got “lucky”, while Somalians (e.g.) got “unlucky”. An address is not the only thing that makes a person American, Irish, etc

The responsibilities are also hereditary Which makes much more sense than the alternative of Dirtright citizenship Just as we shouldn't accept any family into our own, we shouldn't conscript families of other countries into our own because a mother gave birth here

I've noticed that people feel uncomfortable when it is suggested that the benefits of citizenship are inherited wealth earned by people whose parents fought and died to preserve the wealth of the rich.

Author article probably has 4 life insurance policies paid up in irrevocable trust to avoid taxes on estate. Same free marketers push viaticals and reverse mortgages for everyone else.

Ah yes, Ilya Somin - the guy who objects to citizenship as club good because it inhibits freeriding.

That is just ivy league philosophical mumbo jumbo nonsense. They try to create new terms to try to sound so intelligent.

I didn't know I had to check my hereditary American privilege. Is there also a hereditary care for my own kids privilege?

Imagine paying ~$100,000/year for your kid to be "educated" by the likes of Ilya Somin.
