If you’re traveling to United States from Europe, not a citizen, you’re pregnant and give birth on American soil. That makes the baby an American citizen.

The claim that a baby born on U.S. soil to non-citizen parents traveling from Europe automatically acquires American citizenship is supported by the constitutional principle of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. This amendment grants citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof," a phrase that courts have interpreted to include nearly all births on U.S. soil regardless of parental citizenship or immigration status. While some recent political debates and proposed legislation have sought to challenge or limit this principle, the prevailing legal consensus and judicial rulings uphold birthright citizenship as a constitutional right. The sources, although not from traditionally trusted outlets, consistently reference the 14th Amendment and related legal interpretations, reinforcing the claim’s validity.
