The child was born in USA with parents that are illegal alien. Someone told me when the government found it out, they will void the citizenship they grant for the kid. Please no racist! LOL

Any child born in America whose parent(s) is(are) not (1) diplomats accredited to the USA (but this rule doesn't apply if the other parent is a US citizen) or (2) enemy alien combatants (historically meaning a member of an invading British force attempting to thwart the Revolution of 1776) is a citizen of the United States for life.
Until and unless he or she renounces that citizenship. Upon reaching the age of majority, 18, and residing abroad. http://tinyurl.com/yjy6ra (Gary Davis case)
What can happen is that such an American citizen child can be "deported" with his or her parents: in other words, if the parents are deported as illegals, they can take the child with them at US Government expense. Or, at their option, leave the child behind with friends or relatives. Or put the child in foster care or up for adoption. Cruel, but that's the policy. http://uniset.ca/naty/maternity
I guarantee that what I have said is absolutely correct.

I'm not sure, but I certainly hope so. If a child is born here to an illegal alien, then the parents need to go home and it would be wrong to leave the kid here for our child welfare system to raise. The parents knew what they were doing when they gave birth to the child here in hopes of staying legally. In most cases, they didn't even want a kid, they wanted an anchor baby. If they love the kid they have a choice to either take him home to wherever they ran away from or leave him here. The fact is that if they are illegal aliens, they need to leave this country because they broke the law. It is the children I feel the most sorry for, but I've got my own children who are US citizens to worry about. The future of my kids will be better when their tax dollars stop supporting every illegal who hates their country enough to enter ours illegally.

NO child born in the United states can be voided of their citizenship. key word american'' only the parents can be shipped out if the have not gotten their papers in order to remain, in the states. But not the child, It is the parents choice if they are asked to leave to take child. With them and wait until child is 18, and comes back to the states, and can then start peticion to asked for parents to enter legally . (as long as child has a good job and can support parent, or parents while papers are , being filed and submitted , as they can not work legaly in the country, but I believe child should go with parents if need be , and become well educated then come back , and ask for parents.*** Child should learn as much English while studying it will be sooo neccesary..To speak up for their rights , As well as their parents rights. There are a lot of illegal in this country whom did come from otherforeigen countries and forgot that they to were illeglas at one time and it takes months and months to get all papers needed to become legal and if you can't work how do you pay for papers and become a tax paying, citizen as their parents had to ,do at one time..

It is my understanding that parents can renounce citizenship rights for their minor children, basically by registering the kid with an embassy or consulate.
With illegals who had a baby here, it is entirely possible the child would be taken from the parents prior to deportation -- something that would motivate the parents to renounce the child's native-born status.
A severe crackdown on such cases is brewing.

It is a possibility if the parents came here just to have their child here. If they can prove they were on vacation or some other reason for being heer with valid work visas or passports, then they most likely will let it go.

what's extremely occurring? you're, contained in the guise of asking a question, attempting to hide your racism behind a skinny veneer or psychological claptrap. you already know ok (or a minimum of you may want to in case you've been paying interest in grade 5 social study classification) that any newborn born contained in the U. S. is a citizen. i'm no longer American, or perhaps i do not forget that.

I don't believe so. If someone is born here they are a citizen, period.
Whether that SHOULD be the rule is another question.
