The United States was an exception in the West as one of the last countries to grant citizenship unconditionally to virtually anyone born there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Trump\u2019s order seeking to end birthright citizenship for the American-born children of undocumented immigrants, which <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/23\/us\/politics\/judge-blocks-birthright-citizenship.html\" title=\"\">a judge temporarily blocked<\/a> last week, would bring the United States one step closer to Italy and other European countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But rising numbers of migrants in the United States and Europe have set off debates on both sides of the Atlantic over whether the systems for bestowing citizenship need to be updated in some way, either moderated or stiffened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Each approach \u2014 known by the Latin terms \u201cjus sanguinis,\u201d or right of blood, and \u201cjus soli,\u201d or right of soil \u2014 has its critics, and increasingly, countries have sought to rebalance the two.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since the 1980s, Britain and Ireland (as well as Australia and New Zealand), which still had unconditional birthright citizenship, have moved in a direction similar to that Mr. Trump has chosen, limiting it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But others, like Germany, have gone the other way, making it easier for people born to immigrants to gain citizenship. The shift, supporters say, nodded to the changing realities of a country where one in four people now comes from an immigrant background.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cCitizenship is a politically contested issue,\u201d said Maarten Vink, the co-director of the Global Citizenship Observatory. \u201cWhen it changes it reflects the outcome of a political struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-7918e372\">A Tug of War in Europe<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Europe, bloodline citizenship has helped maintain ties with citizens who leave the country, and their descendants. But most countries in Europe also offer some form of birthright citizenship, though usually with tough restrictions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Europe, citizenship has at times been mixed with dangerous concepts of racism and ethnic purity, especially in colonial times and during the Nazi era, when Hitler\u2019s regime stripped Jews of their citizenship before killing them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Today support for limiting access to citizenship for immigrants, as well as securing borders, is not found only on the far right. But the arguments have been harnessed by some of the continent\u2019s extreme right-wing forces, who speak of a need to preserve cultural and ethnic identity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe must stop migratory flows,\u201d Jordan Bardella, the president of the far-right National Rally in France, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/J_Bardella\/status\/1878720712955023600\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said earlier this month<\/a>. \u201cMany French people, including even some who are of immigrant descent, no longer recognize France and no longer recognize the country they grew up in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Bardella\u2019s party wants to abolish law that allows the children of foreigners born in the country to apply for citizenship at 18, as long as they meet minimal residency requirements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While citizenship has often been described as a vehicle for belonging, it has also been a powerful means of exclusion, said Dimitry Kochenov, a professor at the Central European University and the author of the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/mitpress.mit.edu\/9780262537797\/citizenship\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">book \u201cCitizenship<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cCitizenship has been used by the state in order to denigrate certain groups,\u201d Mr. Kochenov said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-3ce893a7\">The Italian Example<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In previous centuries, a much poorer Italy was a country from which millions of citizens emigrated abroad, mostly to the Americas, in search of a better life. Generous bloodline citizenship rules helped Italy maintain a link with the diaspora.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even today churches and town halls around Italy are clogged with requests from Argentines, Brazilians and Americans who have the right to claim citizenship through distant Italian ancestry. (Most recently, President Javier Milei of Argentina <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/14\/world\/europe\/argentina-president-milei-italy-citizenship.html\" title=\"\">obtained Italian citizenship<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Italy has in recent decades turned from a land where people emigrate into one that also receives large numbers of immigrants. And while Italy has changed, its citizenship law has not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Italy does not grant citizenship to the children of immigrants who have legal status in the country. The Italian-born children of immigrants can only apply for citizenship once they turn 18; they have one year to apply and must prove they have lived in the Italy the whole time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That ruled out Ms. Ghazoui, who spent part of her childhood in Morocco, where her parents are from. Now, 34, an employee at a company providing naval supplies, she has an Italian husband and an Italian child, and applied for citizenship based on protracted residency in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI am the only one in the house who is not Italian and not recognized,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While the public health-care system in Italy makes no distinction between citizens and noncitizens, second-generation children of immigrants face numerous hurdles. About 600,000 children born to immigrants study in Italian schools. They have often known no other country than Italy, but with no claim to citizenship, their lives are complicated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many cannot travel around Europe on school trips, and have to miss school or renew their residence permits. They also say they are constantly reminded that they are different from their classmates. Many Italian-born adults are in the same situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPrecariousness becomes the basis of your life,\u201d said Sonny Olumati, 38, a dancer and choreographer who was born in Rome to Nigerian parents and still does not have Italian citizenship. \u201cYou create a sense of non-belonging.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Italy\u2019s leaders support the law as it currently stands. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a hard-line conservative whose Brothers of Italy party has post-Fascist roots, has said that \u201cItaly has a great citizenship law.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tying the citizenship of children to that of their parents is convenient, Ms. Meloni argues, in case the immigrants return to their countries. She also said that she had higher priorities than changing the citizenship law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite the government\u2019s position, grass-roots associations proposed a referendum that would reduce the period of uninterrupted residence in Italy needed to become an Italian citizen to five years from 10. The vote is set to happen in the spring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis law does no longer represent the real Italy,\u201d said Alba Lala, 27, the secretary of CoNNGI, a group that represents new Italian generations. \u201cIt\u2019s completely outdated.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-4fd8d83\">Birthright in a Modern Age?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some critics say much the same about unconditional birthright citizenship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">About 20 percent of countries use it, most in North and South America. The United States and Canada inherited the law from Britain, but birthright citizenship also fulfilled an important role in the newly independent countries as a way to constitute a nation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Like those who favor bloodline citizenship, birthright advocates say it promotes social cohesion, but for a different reason \u2014 because no child is left out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the United States, the 14th Amendment allowed men and women of African descent to become citizens, and millions of children of Irish, German and other European immigrants became citizens as well. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But unconditional birthright citizenship remains an exception.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIn a world of massive migration and irregular migration, unconditional ius soli is an anachronism,\u201d said Christian Joppke, a professor of sociology at the University of Bern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Still, some argue that the Trump\u2019 administration is not setting out to modernize a law but instead is trying to redefine the nation itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt rejects the idea of America as a nation of immigrants,\u201d said Hiroshi Motomura, an immigration and citizenship expert at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Law. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-12\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even under the current rules in the United States, birthright citizenship is not absolute. They exclude, for instance, the children of diplomats born in the United States. And most children of American citizens born abroad maintain an automatic right to American citizenship \u2014 in effect bloodline citizenry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Citizenship by descent \u201cis a really good way to connect with people who live outside the borders of a state,\u201d said Mr. Vink. \u201cBut if you want to ensure you are also being inclusive within the borders of a state, you have to also have territorial birthright.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Otherwise, he said, countries would have millions in their population who are not citizens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIn a democracy,\u201d he said, \u201cthat is not a good principle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Christopher F.
