No. There is no legal provision for that.
In fact that was what Obama tried to implement as DAPA for the parents of the DACA kids and their USC siblings but it was shot down by the courts.
An alien with minor USC children who is ordered deported can either make arrangements for their kids to accompany them back to their country or make arrangements for someone else to care for the USC kids here. Third option is is CPS and the foster care system but that is rare.
So here is the deal with DACA / the Dreamers.
They are kinda screwed by their parents actions. As a group they are a bell curve like any other group. Some are shitbags and some will make great Americans.
I don’t have an issue with them in general assuming you set the standards for dreamer status properly to weed out the criminals.
I do have a serious issue with what Obama did in implementing DACA. He took a discretionary executive tool intended by congress for limited application, deferred action, and used it to unlawfully and unconstitutionally usurp Congress’ authority and create a de facto amnesty by executive fiat. He should have been impeached for that stunt.
Deferred action is normally granted to give temporary status to persons for a specific public benefit, such as a facilitating the testimony of a confidential informant or a witness to a crime.

Hundreds of thousands of IA’s have their kids here and either keep their heads down and hope for the best or drive drunk / beat their spouse etc and get put into deportation proceedings.
The Chinese and others are literally coming, having the kid then going home ASAP- they are doing it for the kids future or as a long term plan to eventually bring the family to the US or at least have the option. These people are rich by Chinese standards, just not quite rich enough to legally “buy” a US investor visa or otherwise stay here legally.
That was painful to watch.
We had our Honda serviced at Cooper Garages in Ferring UK while I was on assignment. I ran into Mr. Cooper in the showroom and struck up a conversation.
He invited me into his office and we had a nice chat about him getting engines from Mr. Honda, and having Bruce McLaren drive for him. What a nice man.
I had two minis there; my ‘67 1275 S with a balanced and blueprinted engine by Avonbar, and an M Reg Rover Cooper Muffy, M294AUF.
Muffy was my commuter car, and might as well be the twin in that video that got crushed.
I know they have to do this stuff I guess but that was just sad.

Yes. Either living here long term, crossing the border temporarily, or flying in on worker/tourist/student visas and having a child.
Several of my cousin-in-laws are US citizens because fly in to California while pregnant, don't leave, have baby, go home. Also, don't pay hospital bill. They think their kids will get free college and a bunch of other magic American benefits.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
