Trump's Citizenship Crackdown: Indian Diaspora To Face Uncertainty Amidst Reforms? | Beyond Headline

[@milesapart]

India itself does not grant citizenship to children of foreign nationals born in India, so why should the United States? Here is an example: Children of foreign nationals (non-OCI holders) of Indian origin born in India don't get Indian citizenship even if foreign national parents or grandparents were Indians once upon a time. But we expect the US to dish out citizenship as it feels it's a birthright.

[@scretching08]

As a Black American with an MBA and multiple degrees, I feel compelled to explain some important points. First, it’s essential to understand that the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to those born on U.S. soil, specifically applies to former slaves-Black Americans who were freed after the Civil War. This historical context is crucial because there is a growing debate about immigration, especially in light of recent demographic shifts. For the first time in U.S. history, according to the 2020 census, the white population has started to decline. This trend isn’t isolated to the U.S.; it’s a global phenomenon, with lower birth rates among white populations across the world. Additionally, with the rapid rise of AI and machine learning, there is a push from some political leaders-like Trump-who feel the need to protect the interests of the white demographic. As someone who understands the dynamics of racial and social change, I can see how this is influencing current political discourse. On the other hand, Black Americans, like me, also face demographic shifts. The Black population in the U.S. has decreased from 13.9% to 12.1% in recent years. Why? A significant factor is the growing influence of feminism, birth control, and the legalization of abortion over the past 60 years, all of which have contributed to lower birth rates in our community. When it comes to immigration, it’s crucial to recognize that being born in the U.S. does not automatically grant citizenship to foreign nationals or their children. Those who are not U.S. citizens by birth have no inherent right to citizenship, and the idea of birthright citizenship should not apply to everyone who is born on U.S. soil. Foreigners, regardless of their background, are not entitled to the same privileges as native-born citizens. In sum, we need to be realistic about the way immigration and demographic shifts are affecting the U.S., and we must remember that not everyone is entitled to the same rights or benefits under the Constitution.

There is a major difference. The US created the H1B and path to green card for their interest by a legislative act(India or the gulf countries have not). Therefore the US must make provisions for workers who are human beings and have a life to live. More importantly US is an immigrant nation, built by settlers.

[@masumabid4883]

The US created the H1B but no path to green card. For example, if you obtain H1B and apply for visa stamp at the US embassy in New Delhi and if you say you are going to the US to permanently stay there your visa application will be denied. So, H1B never guarantees path to green card .

Please check the policy in detail - it clearly says the children of non-citizens/illegal migrants will lose their status as citizens. If you start immigration illegally - you will be paying the price, which should not surprise anyone. Indians or any national became citizens through the legal process, and their kids born in the US have nothing to worry about. People are becoming citizens through student visas, H1-B... It is all good. Many people who fly to the USA on visitor visas in their second trimester to have their kids in the USA will have to face the consequences. New Zealand, Australia, and any European country do not allow illegal immigrants - they have skill-based immigration policies. President Trump is moving in that direction. It's a win-win for all.
