Indian-American lawmakers have opposed the executive order by US President Donald Trump on changes in birthright citizenship, a move likely to hit not only illegal immigrants from around the world but also students and professionals from India.
On Monday, in the opening hours of his second term as president, Trump signed an order declaring that future children born to undocumented immigrants would no longer be treated as citizens.
Trump's executive order asserts that the children of such noncitizens are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, and thus are not covered by the 14th Amendment's longstanding constitutional guarantee.
