What Trump’s Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship Means for Indian Families and Immigrants

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end the birthright citizenship. What does it mean to Americans and Immigrants? How this will change the dynamics in the USA? Will it become the topic of debate in the region? 

This policy means that children born in the U.S. will no longer automatically receive citizenship unless at least one parent is a U.S. citizen. a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), or a member of the U.S. military. The order takes effect in 30 days.

The policy specifically excludes children born to:

  1. Mothers unlawfully present in the U.S. and fathers who are not citizens or green card holders.
  2. Parents on temporary visas, such as H-1B, student, or tourist visas, without a citizen or green card holder as the father.

How Trump’s Order Challenges the 14th Amendment’s Legacy

The 14th Amendment was adopted in 1868 and its grants citizenship to all individuals born on U.S. soil. Now order by Trump challenges the historical 14th Amendment “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” 

Key concerns for Indians include:

  • Children of H-1B Visa Holders: Indian families on temporary work visas may find their U.S.-born children ineligible for citizenship.
  • Green Card Backlogs: With extended wait times for green cards, many Indian families may face uncertainty about their children’s status.

This change will impact U.S. immigration policy. This will also impact on Indian community who is living on temporary visas or awaiting for green cards.
