Passenger gave birth mid-air on flight - now experts say the child's citizenship depends on which airspace the plane was in at the time

A passenger gave birth during a flight from Jamaica to the US - leaving the citizenship of the newborn up for debate.

A woman went into labour on board Caribbean Airlines flight BW005 on April 4.

Towards the end of the flight, heading from Kingston to New York City, the baby was born.

While no emergency was declared during the flight, after landing, both received medical attention.

Caribbean Airlines said in a statement, reported by Sky News: 'The airline comments the professionalism and measured response of its crew, who managed the situation in accordance with established procedures, ensuring the safety and comfort of all onboard.'

In audio shared by CBS News, the air traffic controller suggests the baby be named 'Kennedy' - because the plane was set to land at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Given the baby was born mid-air, its citizenship is still unclear, sparking debate online.

Immigration lawyer and YouTuber Brad Bernstein said in a Facebook clip: 'A baby born on a plane to NYC raises one big legal question… is that child automatically a US citizen?

Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy.
Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

If the child had been born while the mother was breaking into my house, It would not be a member of my family, so NO!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
