There is a difference between legal & illegal immigrants. I was talking about legal ones & made no mention of illegal immigration. It sounds like you might be saying that legal immigrants become illegal after some period of time? If that's true in your country, that's fine. But in many countries, people can legally be non-citizen residents for extended periods. In countries without birthright citizenship, their kids aren't automatically citizens.
