    cool great, but those are voluntary processes and the birthright is a right by birth (5head), not by paperwork.

        It’s not required. You have birthright from being born. This question was settled in 1898:

        UNITED STATES v. WONG KIM ARK

        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.
