“No one can become a citizen of a country without its consent”

Think that through (I agree with the sentiment).

Where do you draw the line?

My seven children were born to two US citizens, themselves born to two US citizens each, on US soil.

Do they require consent of the legislature, or the people, to be recognized as US citizens at birth?

My wife is eligible to become a citizen of Ireland through the one-grandparent rule. Does this affect the process by which our children become US citizens?

I understand what you are trying to do. The concept is clear, putting it into amendatory language which doesn't screw something else up is not simple.

You already and automatically without question have that consent by living here and being US citizens. You don’t require anyone to give you consent.

If you are here ILLEGALLY, though, then you don’t have the consent of the government to be here in the first place, let alone the consent to drop a kid and have him automatically become a citizen

What the law says is that they are citizens, because they owe full allegiance to the nation of their parents and their birth. I would prefer there was a procedure by which they became citizens at adulthood, requiring an understanding of the Constitution and the Declaration, among other things.
