      If you’re born in Guam American Samoa, to two US Citizens, you don’t automatically become a citizen.

      You have to apply to become one.

      At the nearest embassy.

      In New Zealand.

      Death to America.

      Edited: still, death to America.

        That doesn’t appear to be the case.

            Yeah, you don’t get automatic citizenship in American Samoa, but if you’re born to American parents anywhere, you’re a citizen, you just have to file a CRBA, which you can do via the internet, mail, whatever. It is bullshit that it costs $100

              Sorry, you’re right, I was thinking of American Samoa. I shouldn’t conflate them.

          Even if jus solis didn’t apply, if you are born to an American citizen literally anywhere, you’re automatically an American citizen. Of course you do kinda have to be registered at some point.
