This line of reasoning is not compatible with Birthright Citizenship. If sovereignty is all about prohibiting entry to people who don't add value, why is it not also about kicking existing people out who don't add value?

The prime responsibility of the sovereign state is to maintain the social order. Deporting the children of citizens and breaking up their families is a remarkably swift way to break down the social order. This is basically sovereign suicide.

Plus I think the rest of the world would have problems with a country dumping unvalued citizens on them. Being stateless is no joke - and besides, where would they deport to? They are citizens.
