First of all I would know my facts,\nLike trying to become legalized.\nOr I wouldn't cross over the borders just to have my child become legal, and me still be Illegal, their is no way I could take that chance.\n\nIf the child is a legal citizens then the state will own him/her. He/She would probably be place into a foster home.

im American and i wouldn't have a problem with you getting citizenship because you are doing it the legal way, you are literate and already have experience in a job, and you know what kind of job you are looking for.i would rather see more of you coming to America than people who suck up social security when actual citizens need it. ofcourse this is my opinion only.

You will automatically get US citizenship, but you should not give up your Canadian citizenship.

The baby was born to an American Citizen and is therefore American.  It would have been wise if the baby's birth was registered at the American Embassy or Consulate in Mexico to reduce problems in the future.

Since you r a US citizen, the newborn has automatic citizenship.  it is base on the principle of jus sanguinis, which holds that the country of citizenship of a child is the same as that of his/her parents.

I get what you are saying. I understand about being proud of your ancestory and everything. But you should be just as proud to be an American. Ppl die to come to this country, and I know they would be proud to be called an american. There should be more american flags on cars and at houses and things! I agree with you 100%

By personally visiting the SS office, just as if your son was born in the US.  All you have to show is that he is a US citizen.

Yes, you are very right.  I agree.  Parents should have to show their children's US birth certificates at the time of registration of their children in school.  For the ones born here, okay, of course they can go to school in the US.  For the ones not born here and no legal documentation for being in the US, no they should NOT be able to go to school in the US.  Their parents are the ones at fault for bringing them to the US illegally.  If they really care about their children and want them to get a US education, then they should have thought about that before and should have applied legally to come into the US with their children.  Or, they should have left their children at home in their own country, applied for themselves a work visa in the US and send money home to pay for their children to go to a proper school in their own country.  American taxpayers should NOT have to foot the bill to educate their children.  I feel sorry for these children for having such thoughtless parents as to bring them into another country illegally, but we cannot afford to pay for everything for them.

The child is American. This is why many foreigners do this in the first place.

I think everyone who is already over here with children who are US born should have an opportunity to get their citizenship.  Why illegals want to continue to be second class is beyond me.  Get your citizenship and learn English,  then you'll have the grounds to demand things like better jobs and fair pay.  You are only being taken advantage of as you are.  You are shooting yourselves in the foot with the amnesty BS.  I also think if you are here illegally and have committed a crime, you forfeit the chance to be a citizen and should be deported immediately.  Not all anti-illegals are out to get you. We are hoping to find a better, legal system  for you to immigrate so you can truly grasp what America has to offer.  Something besides a broom handle or a shovel so we can stop paying for everything and have more respect for you.

Dual citizenship is where your parents were born in another country.  You were born in the USA.  You would be a citizen of the other country because your parents are citizens, and a citizen of the USA because that is where you were actually born.

Use the most basic common sense you have.  Obey all rules, regulations and laws.  Be responsible specially for your own actions and words.  Enjoy your new citizenship yet never forget your mother land and her beautiful custom.  Be proud of yourself but do not be overbearing.

You do have a good point. The system sucks. If you do pay into it you do not qualify for any assistance. But if you do not work and have 5 baby's form 5 different daddy's and your only 21 yep I think that their is a problem. Or come over here and have your baby so he/she can be a American Citizen has to stop.
