Thank you - the Mexican sovereignty is a new wrinkle I had not heard of or read before.

So ‘anchor babies’ are only those whose parent(s) is/are here legally? Does the father’s citizenship or legality trump an illegal alien mother and vice-versa?

If one of the parents is a citizen and a child is born overseas, then the children’s citizenship maybe derived from that U.S. citizen parent.

See:

If born in the U.S. and one parent is a citizen, then native born U.S. citizen.

To be a natural born citizen requires born in U.S.A. and both parents must be citizens.
