According to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services website:

A child automatically becomes a U.S. citizen when all of the following conditions have been met under section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended by the Child Citizenship Act (CCA):

  • At least one parent of the child is a U.S. citizen, whether by birth or naturalization.
  • The child is under the age of 18 years.
  • The child is residing in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent based on a lawful admission for permanent residence.

What happens when an illegal mother has a son in the US?

When an undocumented mother has a child in the US, the child automatically becomes a US citizen under the principle of birthright citizenship enshrined in the Constitution's 14th Amendment. However, the mother's immigration status remains unchanged, and she may continue to live and work in the US without any lawful immigration status. The child may petition for their mother's legal status when they turn 21 years old, but until then, the mother may be subject to deportation.

How do you correct the sentence Jerry asked how was the lunch you had with mother?

There are two ways to correct this sentence, which is an ungrammatical mixture of direct and indirect speech.First, you can turn it into direct speech by using the appropriate punctuation (quotation marks and a question mark):Jerry asked "How was the lunch you had with mother?"Second, you can turn it into indirect speech by rewriting it, for example:Jerry asked her how the lunch with their mother had been.Note that when you turn a question from direct to indirect speech there are two essential elements. One is that the order of the verb and subject is reversed: 'how was the lunch' becomes 'how the lunch had been'. The other is that the tense of the verb goes a step further back into the past: 'was' becomes 'had been'.

Do Canadians born before 1947 qualify as British citizens?

In general no. British Citizenship was only introduced in 1983 and to obtain it, one had to be a Citizen of United Kingdom and Colonies before that (plus additional conditions). CUKC in turn was introduced only in 1948. There may be possible exceptions, for example if the Canadian citizen was born in the UK or had a parent born in the UK but I am not familiar with the details.

If you are a foreigner marrying a US citizen, then no you are not a US citizen. Marriage to a citizen does normally give you "permanent resident" status for the duration of the union, and qualifies you for certain paths to citizenship, but it's not automatically granted.
