«Anton's creed is not just racist; it is patently un-American. In his follow-up to the op-ed, he argues that birthright citizenship is a peculiar feature among the countries of the world: "Only around 30 countries out of nearly 200 practice birthright citizenship. The highest accounting that I have seen says 33. There are 197 countries in the world (193 U.N. members, two observers, and two non-members). Thus 83% of the world's nations do not allow birthright citizenship."
To me, the fact that birthright citizenship is the exception is part of, you know, American exceptionalism.»
