Trump is truly an interesting guy, he seems like our right-wing Hindutva folks here back home, so unabashed in his views however myopic they are. The presidential race sure seems like an interesting one, with him in the race.eNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556309500882619796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-1838523540769008932015-09-09T09:11:43.878-07:002015-09-09T09:11:43.878-07:00I wonder if Trump echoes the majority thought or h...I wonder if Trump echoes the majority thought or he is deliberately stoking the sentiments.

The UK does not have birthright citizenship - in order to qualify for British citizenship at birth, one or both parents had to be a British citizen or considered to be permanently settled (in possession of Indefinite Leave to Remain), if the parents don't fulfill these criteria then the child takes the citizenship of the parents.<br /><br />There are only 2 countries in this world that give birthright citizenship.

Since the law has been there for years it is not going to be easy to change it. He sounds as controversial as some of our Indian/ Hindu leaders with their own weird sense of logic, who open their mouth too soon.<br />It would not be as easy it was for him to say,"You are fired", and expect all those people to walk away without a fight. <br />Some people/ politicians are so naive, they start revealing their aganda before the right time. However, this was not expected from a shrewed pearson like Mr.Trump.<br />For a change, he will be fired!<br />Being a seasoned politician is an art , not every businessman/ trillionaire can aspire to become one.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-3640339132235135032015-08-27T09:06:38.335-07:002015-08-27T09:06:38.335-07:00Thanks for your comments Sandhya.
