INDORE Online Report S President Donald Trump began his tenure on Monday with a flurry of major executive orders and directives covering topics ranging from energy to criminal pardons and immigration. He also signed an order to end automatic birthright citizenship for children of nonpermanent residents. The decision to end automatic birthright citizenship marks a major shift in the US immigration policy. The decision could hurt millions of Indians in America who are living there on temporary visas. According to the latest Census, there are over 5.4 million Indians in the United States, making up approximately 1.47% of the US population. Two-thirds are immigrants, while 34% are US-born. If Trump's move is implemented, children born to Indian citizens who are living in the country on temporary work visas or tourist visas would no longer automatically receive citizenship.
