Re: Automatic citizenship
I have always thought it was okay. The problems of illegal entry and overstays seem to dwarf this concern. It seems to be as easy to enter the country and stay as an illegal as it would be for a citizen.
I would need to see numbers on this to really decide whether or not it is a problem. There have only been 2-3 known occurances related to Arabs in the current conflict.
I admit that it does not seem logical that a child would be born a citizen only to leave and have the right to return 20 years later as a citizen unable to speak the language and with no allegience.
