Yes, any child born in the USA (even to illegals) has US citizenship. However, that does not mean the parents are allowed to stay in the USA when their visa runs out.

LOL! This is a trick question! The easiest way to get US citizenship is to be born with it by either birthright or your parents because as babies in the womb we sooooooo have the ability to, like, decide where we're, like, born. Super duper! Are you saying that it's easy to have a child born in the US then wait and hope some twenty years later that they'll have spare thousands of dollars to sponsor you? Are you under the delusion that birthright babies can automatically transfer citizenship to their parents? What a nice world we live in! I didn't know that could work for my parents! I'm a birthright baby just like you! I should ask my parents why we haven't gone through the process of transference of citizenship! Or wait, are you saying that you don't want to benefit from children getting citizenship from being born here? You can't have your cake and eat it too!
