Is it true that some countries grant citizenship to babies born within their borders, even if the parents are tourists?

Yes, some countries follow the principle of 'jus soli' or 'right of the soil,' granting citizenship to babies born within their borders, regardless of the parents' nationality. Examples include the United States and Canada

I found that countries like the U.S. and Canada offer birthright citizenship under 'jus soli.' It’s fascinating how simply being born there can grant a child citizenship

It’s true that certain countries grant citizenship to babies born on their soil, even if the parents are tourists. This is known as 'jus soli,' and countries like the U.S., Canada, and Brazil follow this principle

It’s true for a few places. U.S. is the big one that does it. If you’re born there, you’re a citizen, end of story. Doesn’t matter if your parents were just visiting or not
