The answer to your question is simply, No. Put another way, I think what you're asking is:

'If someone is here illegally and has or fathers a child on American soil, does that give that illegal parent automatic US citizenship?'

If this is a correct reading of the question, the child born on American soil is a natural-born US citizen, automatically, by Constitutional guarantee. The illegal parent or parents receive no change or exception to their official status as illegal aliens.

There are recent cases where a parent, sometimes both parents have indeed been extradited. Even though they had young children born in the US. The American born children could stay. The adjudicated parent had to leave the country.

If they were born in the United States, no. If they are from Cuba, no. Otherwise, yes.

You were Born in Canada to US parents on a military base what is your citizenship?

If you are talking about citizenship, then you are not an automatic citizen, because you were not born on U.S. soil. Your parents would have to fill out some paperwork, otherwise you would be an illegal immigrant. No, that is incorrect. Any child born to a U.S. citizen is considered a U.S. citizen themselves, automatically. You may have to provide a birth certificate (or equivalent birth record) along with documenting the legal U.S. citizenship of your parent(s), but you are otherwise automatically entitled to U.S. citizenship with no additional hoops to jump through.
