12. If birthright citizenship is dropped

What then?
Are all children non-citizens until the age of 18. Then they have to apply. Will it be for only 2 citizen parents to have citizen children at birth, Or a 1 citizen family? What happens to families who aren't citizens? Do we wait until they are 18 so they can decide? Or do we just deport them all.
