Actually there was a crazy talk of removing "birthright citizenship" if the parents are not citizens (both illegal and legal if i am right). Trump has been consistently pushing this agenda. I am sure he will try again. He can issue an executive order. But it will be challenged in court for sure. https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/07/texas-trump-immigration-agenda-border-mass-deportations/ Many countries have abolished or have restrictions for birth-based citizenship. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_tourism#:~:text=The United States%2C Canada%2C and Mexico all grant unconditional birthright,by naturalizing in another country).

The article says atleast one parent must be a US citizen or a lawful permanent resident. I'm assuming it's permanent residency. I'm not sure if other vusa holders fall into this category. @vvvslaxman can help there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we don't know where they are going to go with this. They will try given that this is their only chance implement trumpism. Given that immigration is one of the biggest talking point, they will pursue this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion is they won't give 2 shits on this matter affecting a few million immigrants. Let's see how right or wrong I am. “It will direct federal agencies to require that at least one parent be a US citizen or lawful permanent resident for their future children to become automatic US citizens.” So kids of H1B parents get affected. "The Trump plan suggests no automatic citizenship for children born in the US. This is almost certainly a contravention of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. A Supreme Court judgement is available to counter Trump’s misinterpretation," Rajiv S. Khanna, immigration attorney told TOI. https://m.economictimes.com/nri/migrate/no-more-automatic-citizenship-for-children-in-us-what-donald-trumps-victory-could-mean-for-indians-queuing-for-green-card/articleshow/115023610.cms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes BJP failed in manipur but the amount of weapons Kuki people got is crazy. They had advanced weapons night vision googles, rocket launchers. This is advanced as the military infantry can get. If army steps it will be a civil war. A certain country was exporting them through Burma. Edited November 12 by gattaca Vicks57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
