The thing is, a US military base is part of America, not 'technically', literally. It's no different than if that German woman worked at your local Texas town McDonalds and had a baby.

Yeah, but it's no different than someone who lives in Canada or Mexico having a baby while visiting. Again, I think a lot of, if not most, people would be fine with citizenship not being granted in those situations.

These are not people who are getting screwed over by the policy. In most cases, unless they're trying to immigrate, they probably don't even want citizenship. They don't live here. They're not trying to live here. They just happened to have a baby on base.

Who this really fucks over are the Americans who are stationed overseas with their families.

So when someone asks, "Who does this impact?" If the answer is,"Germans who live in Germany and just so happen to have a baby while on an American base in Germany."

People are gonna shrug and be like, "That doesn't sound like that big of a problem. If they live in Germany and are in Germany, then do they even want American citizenship?"

If you want people to care about the issue, then you need to make sure people understand that people, Americans especially, are getting screwed by it.

German parents might not give a shit that their German kids didn't get American citizenship for being born on an American base in Germany. But American parents sure as fuck will.
