Notes Notes Notes

Today we took notes on how if you are an illegal immigrant and you have a child, the child is a U.S citizen. The question is are the parents then granted citizenship. It's true that U.S. citizens can petition for their parents to receive green cards; but only after the U.S. citizen child turns 21. Staying in the U.S. without permission for all that time could be difficult.

Also, anyone who entered the U.S. illegally (without inspection) faces further complications. One is that, after turning 21 and petitioning for the parents, the child will need to be earning enough money to serve as the parents' financial sponsor(or the family will need to have enough assets to make up the difference).
