This would be similar to the French model, which allows youths born in France (except in Mayotte) to non-French parents between the ages of 13 and 16 to become naturalized by decree if they have lived in France for at least five years since the age of 8 and have parental permission. Still quite restrictive and presents obvious challenges to integration, but it remains more permissive than what this administration is proposing.
