At the same time, several nations have been moving away from birthright citizenship, many in response to immigration. India, which once allowed birthright citizenship, gradually began doing away with it in the 1980s and almost completely ended it in 2004.

Australia, New Zealand and the Dominican Republic have also chipped away at birthright citizenship over the decades.
