Yes, and that is another part of the illegal immigration issue that needs to be addressed by legislation. |

Yes. If a child is born on American soil it is automatically a US citizen... |

 |

Yes, anyone born on American soil is a citizen. One of the reasons they want babies born in the States is that it is helpful to them getting their own citizenship. |

Legally, yes. It is an absurd loophole in the law. It allows people to legally benefit from their illegal behavior. |

My Final Answer
 |
The laws of the country have not been modified to say otherwise, so yes the kid is an American. |

Unfortunately, yes. I say that because the rest of the illegal family, having had a child illegally in this country, suddenly thinks they're free to stay. |

My friends sister in law is from mexico and she wanted to have her baby here (USA) so she could get her papers through that child. Shortly after having her daughter, she was deported and they warned her she couldn't come in this country for the next 10 years or she;d be put in jail. they also mentioned that her daughter would be welcome here because she is an american citizen and that unless she got a good lawyer, she wouldn't be able to get her papers through her daughter (they put her on file).
so to answer your question, yes |
|

Yes. And don't give us any sh*t about the kid - the child had no say on where it was born. EVERYBODY who is born here is automatically entitled to citizenship. |

Yes, any person born in the US is an American Citizen no matter if the mother is illegal or not.
A Child is also a citizen if the child is born in another country if either of his parents are citizens. |

Most everyone is right, but pretty much everyone is wrong as to why.
They are a citizen because the Constitution says so.
Amendment 14
1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State
wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge
the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any
State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of
law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the
laws.
Only an Amendment can change this. Not a law, not a
Presidential decree, only an Amendment. And since that has only been done 27 times in the last two centuries, It's unlikely to change anytime soon.
Noamnest4u, such a law would be unconstitutional. |

Yes they are. I have a friend that his parents lived just across the border from Yuma AZ. His mom had problems with his delivery and they transported her to a US hospital in Yuma to save her and his life. He is an American Citizen because he was born here but his mom and the rest of the family are not. |
