A child born in the United States, … becomes at the time of his birth a citizen
of the United States, by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment of the Constitution, “All persons born or naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of
the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
That 14th amendment is unqualified. The paper is a bureaucratic expediency.
I invite you to try to find case law that reaches the opposite conclusion.
And while I’m at it, suppose someone is born in the US but not in a hospital. They’d have the claim but not the papers to show. Fuck 'em?
Believe it or not, there is a process for that.

cool great, but those are voluntary processes and the birthright is a right by birth (5head), not by paperwork.
Birthright is not an excuse for not filing the required paperwork.
It’s not required. You have birthright from being born. This question was settled in 1898:
UNITED STATES v. WONG KIM ARK
That 14th amendment is unqualified. The paper is a bureaucratic expediency.
