I phrased that poorly didn't I. I was thinking of a foreign national who came to the United States to 'have a baby' and claim American Citizenship.

So, if Mama comes from Peru . . . comes to the U.S. . . . Has a baby. Then takes the baby back to Peru. Where it is raised as a Peruvian citizen. Should that kid have American citizenship? I think not.

If it worked like that, American citizens would have to be crazy to travel to a foreign country. They might lose their citizenship!

In your example, the baby born in the United States was under US jurisdiction for a time. It therefore became a US citizen. I've never seen an example of US citizenship being lost because of subsequent travel outside the country. Let's hope that does not become a "thing."
