President donald trump declared his intention to revoke birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants or infants whose moms were temporarily but lawfully in the nation after taking office. social media users are worried that usha Vance, the wife of Vice President JD Vance, may lose her citizenship due to the planned decree, given her parents were not US citizens when she was born.
 
Usha's parents, krish and lakshmi Chilukuri emigrated to the US from Andhra Pradesh, India, in the 1980s. However, it's unclear from publicly accessible data when they became citizens of the United States. Both have had noteworthy professional achievements. lakshmi is a biologist and the provost of the university of California, San Diego, while krish is an aeronautical engineer and lecturer at San Diego State University.
 
Could usha Vance Lose Her US Citizenship?
The order, which donald trump has not yet signed, states: Among the groups of people born in the united states and exempt from its authority, those born in the united states are not automatically granted the right of U.S. citizenship:
 
When the father was not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the united states at the time of the individual's birth, when the mother was in the country illegally, or when the father was not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the united states at the time of the child's birth, and the mother's presence in the country at the time of the child's birth was legal but brief (for example, traveling under the Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a student, work, or tourist visa).

The legislation will only apply to those born in the united states after 30 days from the date of this decree, according to another paragraph. Usha's citizenship would thus not be impacted.
 
New Order's Impact On indian Diaspora
Many families have been stunned by the new decision, which terminates the automatic birthright citizenship for children of some non-immigrant visa holders.
 
Children born to parents on temporary visas, such as H-1B, H-4, or F-1 visas, if neither parent is a US citizen or a green card holder, are impacted by this important shift in US immigration policy.
 
Over a million Indians, many of whom have been waiting for employment-based green cards for decades, would be directly impacted by this decision.
