That is how it works in the rest of the world. If I had a kid in Thailand (or just about any other country) with my American wife, that kid does not automatically get Thai citizenship. Why would he? Then if we are found to be there illegally and we're deported, the kid doesn't get to stay nor is he granted citizenship because he's just a poor kid who has no say in the matter.

Life isn't fair. But this is how it works around the majority of the world.

Personally, I think borders, citizenship, and passports suck and should be done away with. But we don't live in my world, we live in the real one, so we have to play by those rules. Kids do too.
