    If one of your parents are a US citizen, you are one no matter where you are born.

      There are a bunch of regulations to make sure that in most cases a US citizen giving birth abroad, will grant their kid US citizenship. Although the law does not “guarantee” it like it does in most countries outside the Americas.

      “Interestingly” the US does tend to apply jus sanguinis over jus soli in case of stateless people.
