If a non-American visitor gives birth in the U.S., would their child be considered a U.S. citizen? Anyone born on U.S. soil is an American citizen (with a few minor exceptions including the children of diplomats). Non-American parents should bear in mind their responsibility to pay for all associated medical expenses. http://www.usvirtualconsulatedavao.org.ph/ChatArchives/Chat102704.html A child born on American soil automatically gets U.S. citizenship, unless the child is born to a foreign government official who is in the United States as a recognized diplomat. Children born in certain U.S. territories -- Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam -- may also acquire U.S. citizenship. For details, see Title 8 of the U.S. Code, available at www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode08/. Anyone born with U.S. citizenship retains it for life unless he or she deliberately gives it up -- for example, by filing an oath of renunciation. Laws are changing quickly so who knows! 14th. Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Section 1. All persons BORN or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Yes. Everyone born on US soil is automatically a citizen with the exception of foreign diplomats.

From Bangladesh most of the pregnant women who can afford an airline ticket and has a visitor visa they do come to United States to give birth. This is nothing new! This is very popular ideas in most of the third world. I have seen at list eight persons and they never pay the hospitals bills. Couple weeks ago someone arrived here in Atlantic City, New Jersey from Bangladesh to give birth to her first child! As an U.S. citizen, I want the congress to pass the bill “So NO foreigner can come and just damping babies in U.S. soil for U.S. Citizenship!” (Means foreign children shouldn’t have right for citizenship) We the U.S. Citizen get panelized by the health care system to pay their high medical bills. Because of the U.S. law these people taking this advantage. I hear, law is going to change, my questions is when???
