Isn’t becoming a citizen of ANY country a privilege?

Your meme has absolutely no relation to the topic of your thread.

priv·i·lege
/ˈpriv(ə)lij/
noun
a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.

Citizenship is a "right", not a "privilege" for those of us born in the USA. Some of my fellow citizens, chose to become citizens, and for those, citizenship is a privilege, based on the definition, otherwise, they would not have chosen to go that route.

Is citizenship in ANY country a privilege? Not really, because that depends on the specific country, as for most people who were born into a specific citizenship, they have no choice.

While this is not what you wanted your Meme to symbolize, I would wager that the folks Pastor David Jenkins is targeting in this meme, would probably feel it's a privilege to become an American citizen.

God bless Pastor David Jenkins. Such a unique figure. I watched him once, during an interview, get hard over a brochure of a new private jet.

He already owns 4 private jets, but the Lord wants him to have an even more luxurious one. And he was serious when he said this is what the Lord wants him to have.
No, rights are not the same as privileges.
Rights seem like privileges to you? What do you get by denying the universal human rights? Why deny our human right to reside as equals in all countries?
You never heard?- Until there are no more first and second class citizens of any nation, everywhere is war.
@Reason10 definitely let people know you interpret rights this way. Gahead and be the hated evil we all call "never again" for the coming century.

Nope. And if you're talking about citizenship of the USA, it doesn't even protect you from being deported.

Pretty much. It is NOT a right.
