    Default Citizenship by Birth

    This question came up in my law class.

    It may be a little abstract, but if an alien (such as a martian) was born on us soil, would it be an american citizen?

    Thanks,
    Law student

    The law covers only human beings.

    By the way, read Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles where he discusses some similar questions.

    If I see any Martians, I'll tell them you were thinking of them!

    A postscript: If I had asked such a question during law school, I'd have been laughed out of the place.

    Do y'all have time for such things today?
