Before endorsing something like this, maybe research about how statelessness is one of the things the UN is lauded for trying to end. It's like the peacetime equivalent of a war-crime. Stateless persons are absolutely not something we should try to make more of. It's a principle like self-determination that if someone is born and raised somewhere, they should never be forced to leave -- violating this is how you get an Israel/Palestine situation.

If you're very morally zealous, you are probably saying to this, "well fuck people who disagree -- they should just leave." Kinda naïve! If it were possible to arrange for that, a lot of conflicts in the world would never have started in the first place.
