New Delhi :
Donald Trump made several major announcements in his address after being sworn in as the 47th President of America on Monday and then signed several executive orders. There is a widespread reaction to these orders of Trump. These orders have brought problems for many countries of the world, while in their own country such orders have increased the troubles of many people. An executive order by Donald Trump regarding citizenship has created problems for millions of Indians along with people from many countries living in America. According to this order, even if the parents of a child are not American citizens and the child is born in America, he will not be given citizenship.

As soon as Donald Trump came to power in America, he attacked the right to birthright citizenship. His order is sure to have the biggest impact on those immigrants and especially those Indians who are living in America legally.

What has been the arrangement so far?

If a child is born in America, he is automatically considered an American citizen. Whether the child’s parents are from America or not. Also, if the child’s parents have come here illegally and the child is born in America, he will still be considered an American citizen.

What is Trump’s order?

US President Donald Trump has said that his government will not consider the children of people who entered the country illegally as citizens. Trump has ordered the federal agency not to issue citizenship documents to such children after 30 days.

Trump has been raising this issue for a long time and is saying that granting American citizenship to the children of immigrants without legal status is not acceptable to him.

Who will not get citizenship if born in America?

That person will not get American citizenship as soon as he is born-

1- When at the time of his birth his mother is in America illegally or his father is not an American citizen or is not in America legally.

2- At the time of the person’s birth, the person’s mother must be living in the United States legally but temporarily (such as coming to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program or on a student, work, or tourist visa) or at the time of the person’s birth. His father should not be an American citizen or legally living in America.

Why are you taking this step?

Donald Trump, who took oath as the new President of America, believes that illegal immigrants have misused the provision of citizenship by birth to a child in America. This is why Trump’s executive order directly targets the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. Trump is very angry not only with illegal immigrants but also with this law.

In his executive order, Trump has also said that he will interpret the 14th Amendment differently than before. He also argued that it has never been interpreted to extend citizenship to all people born in the United States.

What does American law say?

According to the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, people born in America or naturalized here will be considered citizens of America and the state where they live. This amendment was made in 1868 to eliminate many injustices which came after an 1857 decision of the US Supreme Court. That decision prohibited the citizenship of children of black slaves, but this injustice was ended by the law of 1868.

In 1898, the US Supreme Court gave a historic decision under this law, granting citizenship to the San Francisco-born son of a Chinese immigrant couple. The Supreme Court said that children born on American soil to a non-citizen couple will be considered American citizens.

…So who will be considered a citizen now?

The US Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment still stands. However, Trump and his supporters are completely against it and Trump said in his order that this amendment did not mean that every person born in America should be given citizenship. He also emphasizes this time that children born in America to undocumented couples living in America will not be given automatic citizenship. Trump’s order will ensure that those children born in America will not automatically be considered citizens of America whose at least one parent is not a legal citizen of America, that is, one of the parents is an American. It is necessary to be a citizen and only then the child will automatically be considered a citizen.

Who will be affected?

According to the data of America’s Population Bureau, the number of Indians living in America is about 50 lakh, which is about 1.47 percent of the population there. Of these, only 34 percent are people who were born in America. The remaining two-thirds are immigrants. Most of the Indians working in America are working there on the basis of H1-B visa. During this period, children of Indian origin born there will no longer automatically get American citizenship.

More than 10 lakh Indians waiting to get green cards will also be affected by this decision. Upon completion of 30 days of Trump’s order, a child born to a mother living in the United States temporarily (such as on a visitor or nonimmigrant visa, including dependent visas such as H-4 or work visa) and a father whose Those who do not have US citizenship or a green card will no longer automatically receive US citizenship.

It is clear that this decision of Donald Trump is going to increase the problems of immigrants. However, Trump’s thinking is against people coming to America illegally and then staying here forever. In such a situation, what will happen next is in the womb of the future. However, it is definitely being said that this order of Trump is certain to be challenged legally.
