Rios-Pineda established only that the U. S. born child of an immigrant who had spent 7 years+ dealing with the authorities at the time (as the result of both legal and illegal suspensions) had the right to citizenship. But that citizenship was based not on the child’s birth in the USA but the time (7 years, the magic number for de facto citizenship in those days) the child had already spent in the USA. This has absolutely nothing to do with birthright citizenship. See: INS v. RIOS-PINEDA, (1985), No. 83-2032, Argued: March 20, 1985 Decided: May 13, 1985.
