What about births to mothers who are there illegally? Really?
It doesn't even matter whether the baby's parent(s) are here illegally or not.
What matters is whether the baby born in the U.S. has at least one parent who is a U.S. Citizen.
If not, then the baby is "subject to the jurisdiction" of the parents' country and is a citizen of that country, just like they are.
Please see my comment above for a little more discussion on this.
