Eh, not necessarily.  Birth isn’t the only way for a country to get new citizens, and really isn’t even the best way.  If a country allows in and naturalizes only those that country chooses, then that country gets people who are capable of contributing to pay those debts, rather than those who contribute to creating more debt.

 

That’s the difference between legal and illegal immigration.
