Detailed explanation-1: -Birthright citizenship in the United States is United States citizenship acquired by a person automatically, by operation of law. This takes place in two situations: by virtue of the person’s birth within United States territory or because one or both of their parents is (or was) a US citizen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Amendment XIV, Section 1, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution directs that all persons born in the United States are U.S. citizens. This is the case regardless of the tax or immigration status of a person’s parents.
Detailed explanation-3: -A. General Requirements for Acquisition of Citizenship at Birth.
