Donald Trump's order has created fear among Indian parents, doubt on children's citizenship
His order has come as a big shock to the immigrants in America, especially Indians.
US President Donald Trump has issued an executive order to ban US citizenship based on birth for children of temporary visa holders. His order has come as a big shock to the immigrants in America, especially Indians.
However, after challenging this order in various courts of America, the implementation of this policy has been stopped for the time being. But, this policy of Trump has confused thousands of Indians who are going to become parents soon.
This order of Trump is a big shock for Indian professionals working in America on H-1B visa. Because many people had assumed that their children would automatically get US citizenship after being born in America, but Trump's executive order has started to give up this hope.
Indian engineer Akshay Pise, who lives in San Jose, California, said that his wife Neha Satpute is going to become a mother this month. Akshay said, "This order directly affects us. If this order is implemented in America, then I don't know what will happen next." Neha Satpute said, "When the delivery date was nearing, we thought of early delivery, but then we gave up on this idea. Because I want my delivery to be natural." Akshay Pise said, "My priority is my wife's health and her safe delivery. Thinking about citizenship comes after that." Priyanshi Jaju, who lives in San Jose, said that she is going to become a mother in April. She told BBC, "Should we contact the Indian Embassy for a passport? Which visa will be applicable? We don't have any correct information about this." After Trump's executive order, couples who became parents were worried about the US citizenship their children would get. Due to this concern, many couples had come to get C-section done to secure US citizenship for their children before the implementation of this order. But Satish Kathula, president of the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI), advised people not to do this. He said, "In a country like America with strict medical laws, I do not recommend pre-term C-section just to gain citizenship."
