(1) At least one parent must be a citizen for you to become a citizen at birth, but
(2) If you are a minor and your parents become citizens, then you become one as well, or
(3) If you are a minor and your parents aren't citizens, then you can get fast tracked to become a citizen upon the age of majority (taking the citizenship test) or by graduating from high school (a citizen automatically).

Simple, easy, fair.

Undocumented workers need visas or green cards to protect them from discriminatory business actions as much as communities need to be protected from a drain on revenues due to children who are unaccounted for but still need educations. You can scream and holler all you want about discrimination, but the fact of the matter is that the first step to becoming a citizen is showing you respect the laws of this country.
