of your country where ever it may be. Is it given to you when you are born in a particular place or does it depend on who your parents are.

Six States in the US are trying to have laws passed that would not grant legal status to the children of illegal aliens. In other words, the child is also illegal even though born in America.

I know that in certain European countries (EU) that there is a law that allows the child status but not the parents.

I can see this working but not alienating a child born in a country. What defines citizenship could arbitrarily change every couple of years.

What are your thoughts?
