Birthright citizenship is an astonishingly rare policy. Nonexistent in Europe and the developed world.

Canada has it since the 1950s only.

It's not astonishingly rare. The comment you're replying to contains examples, here are some more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli

About 20% of all the countries have it. That isn't "astonishingly rare" in my book.

  > is an astonishingly rare policy

Let me repeat for you part of the *FIRST SENTENCE* in my comment

  >> common in "the new world"

So

  > Nonexistent in Europe

Last I checked, Europe was not "the new world".

  > the developed world

Considering that the US and Canada are developed countries, you'll need to rephrase. If you want to make jokes about the US not being a developed world then we'll be forced to make jokes about your lack of literacy and inability to use Google.

Please, for the love of god, just read the comments you're replying to. It's like the absolute bare minimum requirement.

Why do you think they are arguing with you instead of adding to your comment?

I cannot find an interpretation that is an addendum. They are telling me I'm wrong
