Question

Answer 1

if the baby is born here it is automatically an American citizen

Answer 2

Yes, Born In The USA Makes An American!

Answer 3

If the baby is born in the US, the baby is a citizen no matter what. I think you can file for citizenship based on the fact your child is a citizen. This is off the top of my head, so you might want to check.

Answer 4

Providing parents are registered and carded, any child born in this country is an American.

Is this cool? Not so much. The watchers stopped watching sometime during Reagan.

About the time Air Traffic Control went to hell in a hand basket.

Answer 5

yup. You could even run out on the bill. Everyone born here is automatically a citizen. Congrats on your new little American
Amendment XIV

Section 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.

Answer 6

Sadly, yes. It is actually duel citizenship and the child will have to pick a country before they turn 21.

Answer 7

Yes, regardless of visa status or bill payments

Answer 8

Yes, and that is why our country is so totally cool!
