"In other words, if either one of the parents is not legally in the United States, then the child is not automatically granted citizenship."
I'm not sure that's right. The way it's described, if either the mother or the father is a citizen/permanent resident, then the child derives citizenship through that parent. The two parents would *both* have to be not citizens/permanent residents.

It was a mistake on my part. I've already fixed it.
Coolness. :)
