I'm not sure of how this happens across the entire EU, but I believe in Germany you could have multiple generations all born on German soil and none would be citizens.

Sounds like a good recipe for ethnic ghettos.

Integration of individuals who are legal citizens of the United States is not only a critical component to a true integrated society, it is what this country was founded on. Integration of illegal aliens into our society is illegal. These laws are in place for a reason. We have been lax in their application and been asleep at the switch for far too long. However, they are still laws of our great nation, and the mere fact that they are now being enforced is no reason to call their validity or intent into question.

And they aren't called ethnic ghettos. They are now called Little Italy, The French Quarter, Chinatown and Little Havana. Thriving busseling close-knit communities of US citizens who are losing jobs to the scores of illegal aliens who have invaded their neighborhoods.
