Different question....

If a child is never recognized as having been legally born - not issued a certified birth certificate or other proof of citizenship, or it is seized or destroyed - then the 14th amendment doesnt engage. You have no proof you were born here.

Woops.

Likewise, if you are a minor citizen to noncitizen parents who get deported, you go with them since you are custodial.

So they can play a lot of games with the process and loss of records. If you dont have records, you have nothing.
