If a child is born in the U.S. from two immigrant parents can they still become a U.S. citizen. Can the parents still be deported if the child was born in the U.S.?

Yes, they can still be deported. However, the child is a LEGAL CITIZEN and they can stay. Its good this way too because now they don't have to pay the price for their parents and are being given a chance. (even though they will be discriminated against and aruged against and be told that they should get deported even though they were born here. some people are just not logical. yes that was directed to you, you nazi.)

The child is considered a U.S. citizen if the parents are legal. I am not sure about illegal immigrants. If the parents are legal, then no they cannot be deported if they have an American born child. I am not sure what the process is, but I think they have to a lot of paperwork to prove it.

The Aprents Can be Deported Because The Child Is A Citizen

Any child born on American soil (including U.S. military bases or embassies overseas) is automatically American.
The parents *can* be deported but rarely are because of this exact complication. The American child cannot be deported, so that is a major issue in the "deport them all!!!" theory of immigration.

The Fourteenth Amendment EXCLUDES
the children of aliens.
(The Slaughterhouse Cases (83 U.S. 36 (1873))
The Fourteenth Amendment draws a distinction
between the children of aliens and children of citizens.
(Minor v. Happersett (88 U.S. 162 (1874))
The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction" requires
"direct and immediate allegiance" to the United States,
not just physical presence.
(Elk v. Wilkins 112 U.S. 94 (1884))
There is no automatic birthright citizenship
in a particular case.
(Wong Kim Ark Case, 169 U.S. 649 (1898))
The Supreme Court has never confirmed
birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens,
temporary workers, and tourists.
(Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202, 211 n.10 (1982))
There are other cases referring to minor details of the question.
DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS
AND
THIER CHILDREN
UPON DISCOVERY

It should be that a child cannot become a US citizen even it was born here from ILLEGAL immigrant parents. I don't have a problem with immigrants making US citizens here, just illegal immigrants. The illegal immigrant parents should be deported with their child, regardless of whether it is a US citizen.

UNFORTUNATELY the children are citizens even if the parents are ILLEGALS.
They will NOT be deported because it wouldn't be "fair" to the children.
Personally I say TOO BAD
GET OUT
STAY OUT
NOT MY FAULT THE PARENTS ARE STUPID
DEPORT THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
