I suppose the only argument that could be used is Elian Gonzales. He wasn't born here though, so no comparison could be made.

Since Elian came from Cuba, his status falls under a different law. I don't think Cuban refugees get automatic citizenship, although I believe that they can apply for citizenship.

They get automatic legal residency and cannot be deported, but have to go through the citizenship process like everyone else.
