Sadly, many on the “right” parrot the leftist talking points on this issue. Ponder this: If my pregnant American wife (even if I were not a U.S. citizen) gives birth while we’re on vacation or traveling through Europe is my child not an American? If not then show me the statute or section of the Constitution thats supports your case.

'Leftist' talking points? This was the case conservatives were pushing against obama, the Kenyan, for the last 7 years.

The child would be an American citizen, and if the country it was born in had the same citizenship laws as the US it would also be a citizen of that country.
