Yes, many GIs married to GERMAN women have the choice for their child born in Germany. But the two people with the sick baby are from Canada and England. I don't know how long they have been in the US. My husband and I are US citizens. Just because we had kids born in Germany doesn't mean the German gov't had any responsibility to take care of said kids. Why does the US grant citizenship to a child born here?

I think it's from the Bill of Rights and stems from slaves not being considered US citizens even though they were born here.

Why didn't read my post? German law does recognize citizenship of babies of non-German parents born on German soil.
As for why does the US grant citizenship to a child born here? Its the misinterpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
