Yes. A child born on American soil is an American citizen. I beleieve the question is meant to refer American soil as United States soil, being that the Western Hemisphere is America, therefore all children born there are Americans. And yes, a child born in the USA is a citizen of the USA, regardless if his parents are undocumented. That is the major problem facing the undocumented immgration in the US. Families are being separated because undocumanted parents are deported while the US-born child has the rights to remain in USA.

However a passport application for a minor child will require the parental consent from both its parents and also the proof of the citizenship status of the parents.
