If illegal immigrants have a child born in the US are the parents also citizens of the US?

No. Having a child in the United States does NOT affect the parent's Immigration status.
Once the child is 21, that child can petition for the parent to be given a green card, but the mere fact of an illegal having children who are US citizens does not confer any change in immigration status for that illegal alien.
Thus, the illegal alien parent can easily be deported. The child may also be forced to leave with the illegal parent, but this depends entirely on the circumstances. Even if the US citizen child does leave with the illegal parent, that does not affect the citizenship of the child.

∙ 8y agoYes, the mother and the children are all still illegal aliens.
~REVISE~ Does not mean that they can not become legal. Marriage never make a person legal to live in the united states, but depending on the National Orgin of the immigrant there is apossibility that they can get residency here.

∙ 13y agoYes, but the illegal immigrant must seek a lawyer to help them become a citizen. The illegal may even have to return to their native country and await citzenship rights to the U.S. but just because an illegal marries a citizen does not give them a free pass. It may however, speed up the process.

How Do You Know What Nationally You are?
Nationality should be an easy concept - it is the country of your birth, so long as your parents are legal citizens of that country.Things get more complex when the parents are not legally citizens of the country their child is born in (this has happened in the cases of children born to a parent serving overseas in the armed forces, for example). Illegal immigrants can not claim nationality in a country they should not be residing in; children born to parents who are overseas on holiday can also present problems.
Are children with parents with no papers US citizens?

Why should children of illegal immigrants be educated?
Illegal immigrant children should be educated because they should not be blamed for the actions there parents have done. They should be able to receive the same education Americans do because they are not the one to blame. As an American you have two choices in where you decide your tax money should go to, and that is educated more illegal immigrants or having to support the social service and prison system. if these innocent children do not receive an education they will become illiterate criminals in our society. I am an eight grader who attends Mother Caroline Academy, an all-girls Catholic School, and i have family that immigrated to the U.S. and became citizens and because they did become citizens i stand before you today and am able to provide you with this information and be very well educated and proud to say that i am a Hispanic that supports Illegal immigrant children getting an education. These children could learn to read, write and speak English if we all give to them. If these children become educated, they will want to open businesses which means that they have to hire American citizens to work for them. So they will be giving back to American !! As a young Latina I stand proud and am glad to say I a fourteen year old Dominican named Ashley Mejia answered this question that is such a huge topic in America and did not have a answer for it. I hope i changed the way some Americans may think about Illegal immigrant children not receiving an education. Answer: Children of illegal immigrants are juvenile criminals just as their parents are criminals, they entered this country by illegal means and should not be afforded the rights to education as are Legal immigrants and natural born citizens.. (if illegal immigrants enter this country and then have a child, then yes that child should be educated because by law that child is a citizen as they are born in the USA.) However their parents remain illegal immigrant (criminals) "If these children become educated, they will want to open businesses which means that they have to hire American citizens to work for them. So they will be giving back to American" These Children that entered the US illegally with their parents grow up to be illegal immigrants they are not citizens, therefor they will not open any business, nor hire American workers, nor will they give back to America... The demands on our society by the illegal immigrants are far more than their contributions to our society. US Tax Payers are already supporting enough illegal immigrants by providing welfare, housing, healthcare for illegal criminals they should not be asked to foot the bill to educate illegal children which are in essence juvenile criminals wanted by the federal authorities..

Can you file for child support if you are an illegal alien?
The interesting aspect of this situation is that while you may be an illegal alien, it is possible that your child isn't, depending upon where the child was born. All people born in the US are automatically US citizens, even if their parents were in the country illegally at the time of the birth. So, your child might have all sorts of rights under US law that you as an illegal alien don't have, including the right to be supported. If, however, you and the child are both illegal aliens then you would not be awarded child support, but merely deported if the government learns about you.
