Ending Birthright Citizenship: New Zealand Gets it Right

From today on, not every baby born in this country will automatically be a New Zealand citizen.
Changes to the Citizenship Act mean there are tighter rules on children acquiring citizenship at birth.

Read it all here. Hat tip to Digger's Realm.

Let's see just how smart they are in New Zealand...

It will only happen now if at least one of their parents is a New Zealand citizen or is entitled to be in New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Tokelau or Niue indefinitely.

Really smart. They get it. What, exactly, is it that they get?

The changes have been brought in to recognise the value of citizenship.

Ding ding ding ding ding. We have a winner.

Now if only our government would get it. Or, as it was so eloquently put at Digger's Realm:

ARE YOU LISTENING US SENATE? NEW ZEALAND IS A HELLUVA LOT SMARTER THAN YOU DUMBASSES!

Just. Like. That.
