I had a friend that came here illegally. He ended up having a daughter, and applied for naturalization. He was told the process would take about two years, and that he was not allowed to leave the country while in process or his right to naturalization would be permantly revoked. In other words, he was forced to stay in the US illegally until he was processed. About a year into it, the 9/11 attacks happened. He was then told that the delay would be closer to 5 years. 5 years that he is forced to stay here illegally, while waiting to become legal.

Yes. I case people don't know, ANY child born on US soil is immediately granted citizenship, even those born of illegals.
