if you are over 18, your mother can sponsor you for a green card/residence permit.
If you are under 18, you can probably get citizenship based on being born by an American mother.
Check with the US embassy with your exact details.
Advantages - Able to live and work in US and have US passport
Disadvantage - US citizens pay taxes on worldwide income. But only an issue if you make over $80,000 per year and wrok in a low tax country

What country are you from? You could get a dual citizenship depending on your home country and thier rules and if they allow dual citizenship. Check with your embassy or consulate.
