totally for AMERICA!  I can not imagine having 10 children, no wonder ya'll are starving over there, its NOT the U.S's responsibility to feed the world. All you have is OIL, what will ya'll do when that is depleted? You have NO other resources or Industries to sustain you! While the U.S does. Just remember that without the U.S there would be NO existence of 3rd world countries, you NEED US!

ok.. the child consumer is the spoiled brat borne of a broken home.  It has disposable income that was not around 20 years ago.  and it doesn't stabilize anything.   Obviously, this question was from a teacher with an agenda.

The purpose, as stated by the lottery literature, is to "expand the nationalities" that make up the USA.  Hence, citizens of countries that are already well represented in the US population, such as England and Mexico, do not qualify for the lottery.

Even if only one of the parents is a US citizen, that child is a US citizen. The residence requirements of the US citizen parents are rather easy to meet. An embassy or consular office can issue a "Consular Report of the Birth of a Citizen Abroad" which will serve as the child's US birth certificate. They will also issue, at the same time, the child's US passport. Call the embassy in the country where the child was born and they will provide you with the specific information regarding the necessary local documents. Also, most of the US embassy websites will have information particular to children born in that country of US citizens.

Yes, a child born to a US citizen is automatically a US citizen, no matter where the child is born, you just have to file the paperwork in an american embassy in the country where the kid is born.

I doubt it. Most countries are less tolerant of special needs kids than the United States, and even in the US there are lots of court cases attempting to define who should and who should not be allowed into an inclusion setting.

Send them to Africa to work in the cocoa fields instead of those poor children who often do no live to see adulthood. Then the children can hopefully have a real childhood.

I understand that children born on board ships have no birth country.  I think they can obtain citizenship from the country or countries of their parents' birth. They would then receive the freedoms afforded in those countries.\nIf a person gives up his/her citizenship, they are protected by whatever immigration or refugee laws apply in the country that receives them, until their case is heard.  They are given certain limited freedoms, but not all.

we have less children because we know are limits financially. we don't think it's wrong to come to America. just do it legally.

The children will need to apply for B1/B2 visitor visas through the US consulate having jurisdiction over their foreign residence (unless they are from a visa waiver country). \n\nGiven their ages, it is imperative that you and their parents both write letters in support of the visa applications specifically mentioning the purpose of their visit, the proposed length of stay, and that they will be returning home after their visit. You will need to attest that you will offer financial support (i.e. food, housing, etc.) while they are here and that you will ensure their return home. Their parents need to attest that they have no objection to their children visiting you and that they will provide any additional financial support that may be required (it might be a good idea to include copies of their recent bank statments and letters from employers to show that they can actually offer that support).\n\nIn general, the consulates are pretty easy going with young children -- especially if they are going to visit an aunt/uncle who cannot petition for them to stay in the U.S. Make sure the kids have valid passports and that all of the appropriate DS Forms (visa application forms) are filled out. Children under 14 are usually not interviewed, but the consulate may require them to show up to ensure that they are in fact real people.\n\nGood luck!

I think kids are the innocent ones and deserve to be a citizen of the country they are born in.  I think the U.S. needs to change it's immigration laws before it starts condemning kids.  Some people think that this country is busting at the seams with immigrants but this is not true.  Take a look at many European countries who have a lot higher immigration rates than the US.  This country would be enhanced by a friendly worker program and more refugees from around the world permitted each year.  However, I am all for much tighter border security. It beats bombing people around the world and hoping that it wont come back to haunt you!

Benefits for minor children through SSI are to be used for the benefit of the minor children.  Not for their latest CD or whatever.  For their food, shelter and basic needs.  You can spend it on whatever you want, but raising kids is not cheap.  If your kids think they should "get" the money directly, then set them up on a budget.  On paper, they get X amount from SSI per child. Take the amount for each, take off a portion for the rent, food, clothes, whatever is left, which won't be much, can be given to them as their allowance or something.  This will also help them understand finances and budgets.  Explain to them that they are not going to get rich off SSI!

I don't know for sure, but I think USA is the ONLY country to grant citizenship to a newborn child solely because it was born on her soil.
