It's been federal law for over two centuries that the child of an American born abroad is a citizen - a natural born citizen.

I do not want any child in America to have my childhood because it was taken away from me because I just wasn't good enough; well I am good enough now.

As a legal matter, my mother is an American citizen by birth.

I was born in the U.S., my wife was born in Mexico and emigrated here when she was in college, and my daughters were born in New York City. That makes them passport-carrying, natural-born, eligible-to-run-for-president Americans. But they're also Mexicans and they like that just fine.

It's not the physical location of birth that defines citizenship, but whether your parents are citizens, and the express or implied consent to jurisdiction of the sovereign.

The United States, to state the obvious, is greatly concerned by the startling number of unaccompanied minors that - children and teenagers who are making a very perilous journey through Central America to reach the United States.

On the other hand, the vast majority of all westernized countries, including every single European country along with Israel and Japan, do not offer birthright citizenship.

You don't have to give birth to someone to have a family.

Births to illegal immigrants now account for nearly one out of every ten births in the United States.

I was fortunate enough to be an American citizen by birth and I have the birth certificate to prove it.
