Isn't that what America is all about? Birth priviledges has no place in a free and just society. Being born in the USA is not really an achievement, right?

OK
Have It Your Way
You Are MERITORIOUSLY DISCREDITED
Due To The Lawless ILLEGAL Entry Of The USA
You No Longer Qualify For Residency In This Nation
And Citizenship Is Out Of The Question

You can't be serious! Have you thought your question through? And who is going to decide merit? If I have any say, you are too brainless to deserve citizenship. Where would you go? Who would have you?
The great thing about most countries these days, the US being one of the first with this practice, is that you can earn citizenship. You don't have to be born a citizen to become a citizen.
Why does it have to be one way or the other? Are you too blockheaded to see that we can have both methods of becoming a citizen?

What makes something called something. somebody got here up with a popularity for people and now we together call ourselves people (so a strategies as English is worried). How are we distinctive from different issues? we glance distinctive, we've distinctive genes, we've distinctive applications, and a few might say we gained the breath of life from God. What makes us human interior the eastern way of thinking? A human that conforms to the societal norms. Even the bible says you're a beast in case you provide your self as much as sin.

Free doesn't mean 'Hey World, Come and get it!'.
Free means that those of us who are citizens have freedoms we and our parents have won and built for ourselves in this country. You forget the 'built' part, not to mention the 'are still the ones paying for the services' part.
Your theory would be like saying when two people acquire wilderness land, hew down trees and plane logs, melt sand to glass and make windows, and build a spectacular house, the house is too good to belong to them and their children. Others should be able to say "I should get it, I have merit! (Nevermind that it has nothing to do with owning this land or building this house)". What would really make it analogous is if you moved in yet still made the couple pay for the utilities you used.
Forget it. It is ours.
Yeah, it's nifty, isn't it?
Thanks. We like it that way.

Many go through the process of gaining citizenship. Do you want rapists and child molesters coming in? I think not.If you happen to be born in the :u:S:A. that is just a luck of the draw. or your parents did some questionable moving around.

Meritocracy would be great for people with merit, but it's probably against the Constitution or something. And Hitler did it, or something like it probably. So it's not gonna happen.
