However, I would like to pick up on something the other two speakers prior to me have said. I would submit that four sets of citizenship are being created—and we have never met each other before, right? The fourth comes in if you have not claimed your citizenship by the time you are 28. Essentially, an arbitrary number has been thrown in for an age. It basically says, you may have a birthright to be a citizen, but if you haven't claimed it by the age of 28, for whatever reason, you forfeit that right. So we are not creating one or two or three, but four sets of citizenship, and that in itself, to my mind, is problematic, because the preamble to the whole thing says all citizens are equal under all circumstances, and then it proceeds to create four different categories and violate every single right of every single human being that comes under those categories. That in itself is a major problem, as far as I can see, in the amendments to this act.
