Born in mexico. Brought here at age of one. Mom became us citizen and child is reported on these papers. Child went to school and graduated. Has a social security card and license. Since the person was on legal documents years ago was it all taken care of then or is ther more this person needs to do to not be at risk of deportation. The person has been here a long time and has children???? There is so many different rules so I thought someone may help that has a similiar situation. Thank you.

You will need to determine when the manner and date of entry into the United States and the child's age at the time the mom acquired citizenship. Assuming the mother was above-board in her permanent residency and naturalization applications, the child may have "derived" citizenship. The child's name would NOT be listed on the mom's citizenship certificate-- he or she should have her gotten her own. You may wish to consult with an immigration attorney to get a legal opinion before filing for a replacement certificate.

Unless they have filed for citizenship, have authority to be here - they are illegal.
Matters not that they have a social security card or a license. Doesn't matter how long they have been here or if they have children.
My suggestion would be to contact immigration and ask them. It should have been taken care of when they turned 18.
Without a greencard - I don't even see how they are legally working.

Generally, if the child is a minor when the parents are naturalized, the children are included in that naturalization. The naturalization certificate for the parents should include the child's information.
