On the 10th of February 2025, BBC Headline reads: “Trump wants to end birthright citizenship. Where do other countries stand?”, a report by Luis Barrucho.
From the report:
> Birthright citizenship, or jus soli (right of the soil), is not the norm globally.
> The US is one of about 30 countries - mostly in the Americas - that grant automatic citizenship to anyone born within their borders.
> In contrast, many countries in Asia, Europe, and parts of Africa adhere to the jus sanguinis (right of blood) principle, where children inherit their nationality from their parents, regardless of their birthplace.
Hi my name is Terence and I’m your host for the Daily Monsoon, a podcast where I connect current affairs to matters of faith. Today we look at citizenship and birthright.
