Will you give me your arguments for and against birthright citizenship?

Countries typically have birthright citizenship or blood right citizenship, or a combination of both. I am going to lead a discussion on the topic, and I want to hear your opinions to help me anticipate questions.
I’m preparing a slideshow that will explain the two, show a map of the world delineating which countries have what, and give specific examples of countries that have laws that fall in the middle—that it doesn’t have to be all or none.
The map shows that the Americas (the new world) predominantly have birthright citizenship.
I also will ask the audience to think about whether children born to green card parents, working permit parents, student visa parents, if their children born in the US should be automatic citizens?
I’ll do a little bit in the 14th amendment.
We usually have several people in the audience who don’t live in the US, so I hope they can tell us what it is like in their countries and the attitudes on the topic.
Here are relevant links for you to skim if you want more info.

Also, can you confirm for me birthright is one word and blood right is two. Thanks!
