This is the reason why so many millions of Illegals are rising up and demanding to stay here, because they have family, that is, children who were born here and therefore are automatic U.S. citizens and discluded from deportation. This law creates the discord due to the separation of families with Illegal parents and Legal children.
There are real instances where this law applies, and probably why it was created, such as when a Legal Immigrant has yet to finish their 7 years of residency and officially become a US citizen. But as far as Illegals go, this law SHOULD NOT APPLY!!!
If a pregnant woman manages to cross the border and just happens to give birth to her child on U.S. soil that very day, why does that give her child the right to US citizenship? She was ILLEGAL!
A child born in the U.S. should only be given the automatic citizenship if it can be proven that the parents, or at least the mother, entered the country legally. That means they had all the proper Visas and permissions when they arrived here and were accounted for by the proper departments. The law needs to be adjusted to reflect this reasoning!
