Paywalled but...wonder if they could apply for US citizenship since technically their father is a USian?
Kind of reminds me of another article I saw a while back about Chinese women coming to the US to give birth so their children would have the option of becoming a US citizen if they wanted to later in life. Apparently there's a big business built around it.
--edit--
Wow, downvoted for pondering on a simple question...
- vijaybritto 9y agoOh god. Propaganda and misinformation. Two solid factors for the demise of your country. Factors which have led to the election of a person like Donald Trump as the president!

- barry-cotter 9y agoI can’t find any references after five minutes searching but I believe there needs to be some minimal involvement and connection on the father’s part for a child to inherit US citizenship. This is to avoid children of prostitutes in countries with US military bases claiming citizenship, more or less. Sperm donation is legally regulated such that no rights or responsibilities attach to the children this produced. If child support can’t be claimed citizenship can’t.
