Those are legal terms IN LATIN, from which many of our legal terms derive (e.g. HABEAS CORPUS).

Jus sanguinis (Latin: right of blood) is a principle of nationality law by which citizenship is not determined by place of birth but by having one or both parents who are citizens of the state.

Jus soli (Latin: right of the soil), also known as birthright citizenship, is a right by which nationality or citizenship can be recognized to any individual born in the territory of the related state.

Our citizenship policies are based on Jus Soli and that is the problem... many illegals come here and have babies born in the USA who are CITIZENS BY BIRTH.

We then do not deport the parent because the child is a citizen and needs his/her parent to raise and take care of him (in his country ).

The illegal parent then becomes a DE FACTO permanent resident.
