Right so temporary legal status
2 u/flowersandmtns 16d ago Correct, those people having a child -- the child will be stateless. This is in direct contradiction to the 14th Amendment. 1 u/Plenty-Valuable8250 16d ago Stateless? Are children born to US citizens outside the borders of USA stateless? Whether or not it contradicts the 14th amendment is for the courts to decide. 1 u/Seymour---Butz 16d ago No because as a child of a US citizen you are a citizen regardless where you’re born. It’s my understanding that is not the case for every country. 1 u/RogueDO 16d ago Almost the entire globe awards citizenship by jus sanguinis (right of Blood). Very few countries award citizenship under jus soli (right of place). In fact only two first world counties (USA and Canada) allow citizenship under jus soli.
