Donald Trump Birthright Citizenship: US President Donald Trump has announced major changes in birthright citizenship as soon as he assumes power. Now every child born in America will not automatically get the right to citizenship (birthright citizenship). Trump has signed the executive order under the 14th Constitutional Amendment, after which this rule will come into effect from February 20.
Under this decision, only those children will get American citizenship, at least one of whose parents is an American citizen. This will not only impact illegal immigrants, but will also have a deep impact on Indian families living on H-1B visas.
Why is birthright citizenship important?
Birthright Citizenship is part of the US Constitution, under which every child born in America gets citizenship. It provides security and stability especially for immigrant families who are waiting for a green card or citizenship. Due to Trump’s decision, parents are trying to deliver their children before February 20.
According to HT report, Dr. SD Rama in a maternity clinic in New Jersey said that many women are demanding early delivery. Gynecologist Dr. SG Mukkala of Texas said that premature delivery can be dangerous for both the child and the mother.
Struggle of NRI families
Indian families living on H-1B visas hope for stability through birthright citizenship. Many families want their children to be born before February 20 so that they can get the right to citizenship. The impact of this decision on Indian immigrants can be seen in many ways. H-1B visa holders living in America are already waiting a long time for the green card. Now after this, if their children are born after February 20, they will not get citizenship.
illegal immigrants
Many Indian immigrants living illegally were hoping to get citizenship through children, but this decision will increase their problems. An illegal immigrant living in California said that his lawyer was hoping to get citizenship through the child, but now it has become difficult.
Change in birthright citizenship
Donald Trump’s decision to change birthright citizenship is posing serious challenges for migrant families, especially Indians. While this step has been taken to curb illegal immigration into America, it can affect the stability and security of migrant communities.
