Yeah, sure.

Wishing it wasn’t so won’t change it one bit.

USCIS: take a look at the third paragraph.

I should have been more clear: The part about McCain is utter rubbish. Pure fantasy.

Here's your "third paragraph" from the link:

You may become a U.S. citizen either at birth or after birth. Individuals who are born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and individuals born in certain territories or outlying possessions of the United States are citizens at birth. Also, individuals born outside the United States may be citizens at birth if their parent or parents were citizens at the time of birth and other requirements are met.

So, this paragraph says that there are two categories of citizen, citizen at birth or after birth. Not three as you contend.

The first category is further defined in the remainder of the paragraph with language similar to that found in the 14th amendment (Individuals who are born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States)and adding that persons born abroad may be citizens at birth if their parent or parents were citizens and certain other requirements were met.

So, the paragraph that you cite does not support your assertion, in fact it contradicts it. Do you have any other source that supports your claim? This one certainly does not.
