Wait a minute. So if someone is born in Portugal to foreign parents, that person doesn't automatically become a Portuguese citizen? So I assume they become citizens of the same country their parents are from? Wow! If this is true, we've been doing it all wrong here in the States! Illegal immigrants who have children here, those children automatically become US citizens. We call them anchor babies.
