This is something I've heard a lot about, especially when people talk politics at school or online. From what I've seen, people who want to keep birthright citizenship usually think it's about fairness and protecting families. Like, they don’t want to punish kids for how their parents got here. Plus, it's kind of a tradition in America—being a country of immigrants and all. The NPR poll showed over half the country doesn't want to change it, so that's a pretty big deal.

But there are also people who think it's getting abused, like they're worried people come to the US just to have a baby here and get citizenship. Some people say it's about national security and immigration control, while others just see it as following the rules. I feel like a lot of this is political—like, some people just follow what their party says. It also depends on how you feel about immigration in general. For me, I get why people worry about the system, but I also hate the thought of breaking up families just because where someone was born. It just gets everyone so riled up, no matter which side you're on.
