@themigrantchannel: Folarin Balogun’s journey to representing the United States began with his birth in New York to Nigerian parents—a circumstance that granted him U.S. citizenship under the country’s birthright citizenship laws. His story has become part of the wider immigration debate after renewed efforts by President Donald Trump to restrict birthright citizenship, despite reports that he wanted Balogun available for the U.S. national team. The case highlights the irony at the centre of the ongoing policy debate over who should automatically become an American citizen. #USImmigration #BirthrightCitizenship #ImmigrationNews #fifaworldcup2026
