U.S. President Donald Trump has upended one of the nation's long-standing immigration policies, effectively ending birthright citizenship as we know it. Under his new executive order, Trump claims the 14th Amendment has been misinterpreted,

Indian-American lawmakers have opposed President Trump's executive order that would end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and those in the country on temporary visas. They argue that the order is unconstitutional and will impact legal immigrants,

The decision will be applicable to all children born in the US from February 20, 30 days since the order. There are over five million people of Indian-origin in America, a category that includes both Indian-Americans and Indians who continue to have Indian citizenship.
