Johnson proposes Australian-style points-based system for immigration

[meridian]

Yes, that's right, someone born here is an immigrant...

My kids were born here, none of them have British citizenship.

Try harder.

There are others who argue that if you were born to "immigrants" who didn't have British passports, then you yourself are an immigrant.

Are you saying that's not the case, that if you're born in the UK, then you should be treated as a UK citizen?

If you are born in the UK to one or more UK citizen parents, then yes, otherwise, no.

Any more questions? Happy to help.

Don't confuse him with current immigration laws.

Yes, I asked earlier about how far back, now we're getting somewhere.

Are you saying that if someone's parents were not British citizens at the time of their birth, then that person should be treated as an immigrant?

And if neither of your parents were British citizens at the time of your birth, but you have since become a British citizen, should you still be treated as an immigrant and "sent packing"?
