I was born in Belgium. I went to school in England and in Switzerland, then I came to America, so I really feel like I am a citizen of the world.
It's not the physical location of birth that defines citizenship, but whether your parents are citizens, and the express or implied consent to jurisdiction of the sovereign.
Every person is also a citizen of some country. In their country, they have rights and responsibilities. In every other country, they are a guest.
Lots of times you can feel as an exile in a country that you were born in.
I have dual citizenship.

There's no such thing as second class citizenship. That's like telling me you can be a little bit pregnant.
A person can only be born in one place. However, he may die several times elsewhere: in the exiles and prisons, and in a homeland transformed by the occupation and oppression into a nightmare.
Citizenship consists in the service of the country.
When you single out any particular group of people for secondary citizenship status, that's a violation of basic human rights.
